If it were then wouldn't you be seeing it on the shelves?  If it had cost as much
to develop the thing as it seems it would have to then I can't see Borland keeping
it a secret instead of trying to make some money off their investment!

I think it more likely that they may have considered writing Turbo Ada and then
decided that the development cost would be too high, or the market share too low,
or some other reason for abandoning the project.  Or maybe they're still working
on it?  I tell you, that is something I would *love* to see!
