	Both Turbo C 2.5 and Turbo Pascal 5.5 are including an Object
	Oriented Programming (OOP) environment.  To spew forth a quote:

		"By defining an object, similar to the way a pascal
		record is created, it's possible to create and 
		manipulate self-contained programming objects containing
		both data and methods."

	Of course the new versions will be compatable with the previous
	ones.  No mention is made of a release date, but since the new
	version of Microsoft's QuickPascal also includes OOPs it a good
	bet they'll be out before the year is.  Also, Borland is no longer
	supporting Turbo BASIC and Turbo Prolog with new versions/updates.
	They are aiming their guns at Microsoft and using TC and TP as
	their ammunition.
