Borland
September 5, 2026
Borland International was an American software company founded in 1983 by Philippe Kahn, best known for Turbo Pascal - a fast, cheap, all-in-one compiler and editor that transformed how a generation of programmers learned to write software. This archive credits Borland with Turbo Pascal and its accompanying manual for the Tatung Einstein, dated 1984, reflecting how quickly Borland's low-cost development tools spread across the era's competing home computer platforms.
