> Well, the subject says it all - I am just wondering?
Yes, for 3 main reasons: 1) My interest in software preservation. 2) I've often used Borland's various tools for no other reason than I had old code to hand. 3) I like pushing old tools in new ways for no reason other than fun, e.g. TP5_2COM and similar trickery.

Trixter still codes in Turbo Pascal, I'd highly recommend reading the following recent Trixter blog entry which I feel puts into words what a lot of people feel when it comes to why we mess around with "old" stuff: When you reach the top, keep climbing.

He's probably busy with work. His website is up: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/gvision/
