Thank you, Johan.
Frank, I never said Bob was part of Borland.
He sold them (or it was a work for hire) a compiler that Borland called TurboBASIC. When Borland lost interest in it he got it back from them and called it PowerBASIC.
"... when did Borland first release TurboBasic?" Johan says 1987. I don't remember, or care; all I do remember is was after Sidekick. As a Sidekick customer I got a letter announcing TurboBASIC and TurboPascal (and maybe a third).
