Hi Edwin! This subject has a direct relationship to the problem I have. 
Have a bunch of Turbo Pascal V3 programs that I want to enhance and port to
OS2 2.1.

 EG> It works, but does anybody have the TurboVision-part patched for OS/2?
 
        Does is work with OS2 2.1? What is the name of the file for the 
patch?  The only files I have seen that may apply are BPOS13.ZIP, 
OS2HLP.ZIP, AND BP-OS2.ARJ.  A TurboVision patch for OS2 would be good.

        I havn't heard this RUMOR. Borland is missing a great opportunity 
by not supporting OS2 as quickly as possible. Chicago is a long ways away.
