     The Borland, "No-Nonsense License Statement" (the 1990 version -- I
believe that this is the one that came with Turbo C++ 1.0), contains the
following clause:

	"Also, you may not use a Turbo Language product to create, give
	away, sell, license, or otherwise distribute a competitive
	compiler or interpreter or to substantially duplicate in
	appearance, functionality, or design a Turbo Language
	development system or feature or portion of it (e.g., the DOS
	extender system)."

End of discussion.  If people want to say, "But what if ...", go right
ahead, but I'm going to ignore it.
