Well, Philippe did say that they are working on Turbo Pascal for the Mac,
but he made it clear that work on the Amiga took priority; the closest
thing to an estimate was a vague reference to "the end of this year".
Philippe also made it clear that he considered the Mac a doomed machine,
which, of course, implies that he may be reluctant to commit too many
resources to developing software for it.
