Not only that, they're looking at doing Delphi for Linux, and maybe their
C++ Builder thingie as well. There have been several articles on this on /.
and other Linux sites lately.
IIRC, a recent informal benchmark showed that Borland's compiler runs about
twice as fast as gcc and _may_ produce smaller code--the author wasn't sure if
the executables were smaller because of tighter code, or a difference in the
debug options specified during the compiles. I'm light on details, but the
impression I've gotten is that the Borland folks are serious about getting into
the Linux game.
I hope Borland will do the same thing for Linux with Delphi and/or C++ Builder
that they did for the PC with TP 1.0. This could be a real shot in the arm. Or
not.

This is cool. But I wonder what happend to their Turbo-Prolog.
Now I just wish Microsoft would do the same with some of their
older software, if only their 8 bit stuff.

They sold their Prolog compiler to Prolog Development Center. It is now
called Visual Prolog. You can download a free version at their website
at http://www.pdc.dk/

Jep, you're right. TurboProlog is hard to get these days.
