Subject: Re: Turbo Pascal for a Kaypro II
It was nice of someone in a recent posting to recommend my wife's
company, Sage Microsystems East, as a source for Turbo Pascal for CP/M.
Unfortunately, that product is no longer available. After Borland declined
to renew Alpha Software's license, Bill Roch (Elliam Associates) and I tried
to convince them to release the software in some form (such as licenses to
other distributors), but they refused. This is a real shame, because Turbo
Pascal is still an excellent product. If Borland finds it too much trouble
to count the small sums of money a license could bring in (for no work on
their part at all), the least they could do is release the product to the
public domain.
