This apparently drove a wedge between Borland and Niels Jensen and the other members of his team who had been working on a brand new series of compilers at their London development centre.

Borland survived as a company, but no longer had the dominance in software tools that it once had.

Borland had done an excellent job marketing to those with a highly technical bent.

Philippe Kahn and the Borland board came to a disagreement on how to focus the company, and Philippe Kahn resigned as Chairman, CEO and President of Borland, a position he had held for 12 years, in January 1995.

When the name was changed to Inprise, many thought Borland had gone out of business.

From version 6 both a lower-priced Turbo Pascal and more expensive Borland Pascal were produced ; Borland Pascal had more libraries and standard library source code.

The Microsoft / Borland C ++ compilers had the ability to use this system as soon as it was introduced in Windows 95 and NT, however the actual implementation was undocumented and had to be reverse engineered for the Wine project and free compilers.

One reason why the Borland C ++ Compiler was so good was that it had to compile and link the massive QPW code base successfully.

The band had already reformed in 2004 with new bassist Ronnie Borland, and released their fourth album Good to Be a Stranger in February 2007.

Then, on 7 May 2008, Borland and Embarcadero Technologies announced that Embarcadero had " signed a definitive asset purchase agreement to purchase CodeGear.

In 1854, the American ship USS Cyane bombarded Greytown after failing to receive compensation for violence which had been directed against Solon Borland, an American diplomat, and other US citizens.

However, a crowd had gathered, and a bottle was thrown which hit Borland in the face.

At the start of the Civil War, Borland was appointed as a commander of the state militia by Arkansas Governor Henry Massie Rector, and ordered to lead the expedition that seized Fort Smith, Arkansas, in the first days of the war, despite the fact that Arkansas had not yet seceded.

By the time Borland and his forces arrived in Fort Smith, the Federal troops had already departed, and there were no shots fired.

His only son with his third wife, George Godwin Borland, had joined the Confederate Army despite being only 16 years of age, and would later be killed in action.

Borland had been marketing the Paradox database specifically to compete with dBASE, and its programmers considered their system to be far superior to dBASE.

It was when Borland showed the product to the Ashton-Tate team that they finally conceded that they had lost the battle for dBASE.

When Borland eventually sold its Quattro Pro and Paradox products to Novell, where they would be joined with Word Perfect in an attempt to match Microsoft Office, Borland was left with InterBase, which Esber had purchased in the late 1980s and had its origins as a derivative of the RDB database work at DEC. Borland's ongoing strategy was to refocus its development tools on the corporate market with client – server applications, so Interbase fitted in as a low-end tool and a good generic SQL database for prototyping.

Borland lacked the financial strength to project its marketing and move internal resources off other products to shore up the dBASE / W effort.

Both the QPW and Paradox for Windows ( another Borland database application ) codebases were based on Borland's internal pilot project with object oriented UI code for Windows.

In 1990 Borland also started work on an internal dBASE clone for both DOS and Windows, written in assembler, which was planned to ship in 1992.

By early 1992 it became clear that Ashton-Tate was in difficulties on developing Windows versions of their products and so Borland switched plans, instead acquiring the company and anointing their internal project as the official successor.

Many product lines were discontinued, corporate reorganization and consolidation was painful, and even worse, the internal dBASE project at the center of the acquisition rationale was eventually cancelled for technical reasons leaving Borland with a collapse in revenues and a serious need to develop the missing dBASE for Windows in a hurry.

This project ran simultaneously with the Borland language group investigating the desirability of a C ++ compiler, and the company decided to make a bet on C ++.

Borland released several updates to the open source code before announcing that it would no longer actively develop the open source project.

Within a week of the InterBase 6. 0 source being released by Borland on 25 July 2000, the Firebird project was created on SourceForge.

Delphi was originally one of many codenames of a pre-release development tool project at Borland.

When Borland deprecated OWL in favor of VCL, a group of developers led by Yura Bidus started the project of maintaining the library in 1998.

In 1998, Borland formed a side project, Big Dumb Face, with whom he released one whole album.

In 1998, Borland formed a side project, Big Dumb Face, influenced by Ween and Mr. Bungle.

In 2005, Borland formed another side project Black Light Burns.

This lasted less than a year, as the Borland project began selling.

Wes Borland set the project to the side once he quit Limp Bizkit in 2001 to start up progressive metal outfit Eat the Day, but once Eat the Day fell through and Borland briefly rejoined Limp Bizkit in late 2004, Borland recorded and wrote a new Big Dumb Face thrash / death metal song called " Darkness Becomes ", which was available on Borland's website, but now is available on the Big Dumb Face website.

Lohner worked with Richard Patrick of Filter, Wes Borland of Limp Bizkit, Black Light Burns, and Josh Freese of A Perfect Circle and Nine Inch Nails, in a project called The Damning Well.

In 2005 and 2006, Lohner was involved further with Wes Borland in a project called Black Light Burns, taking on the role of producer as well as playing guitar, bass, synth, programming, and more.

In the United States, the case of Lotus v. Borland allows programmers to clone the public functionality of a program without infringing its copyright.

( Note: Microsoft would later acquire Fox Software after Borland acquired Ashton-Tate and the United States Department of Justice forced Borland to not assert ownership of the dBASE language.

The OO-dBASE compiler was no more able to run under Windows than was dBASE IV, causing Borland to abandon both code bases in 1993 and spin up a new team to create a new product, eventually delivered as dBASE for Windows in 1994.

Meanwhile Paradox was deliberately down-played in the developer market since dBASE was now the largest Borland product.

Eventually, as part of the merger with Borland, the U. S. Justice Department required Borland to not assert copyright claims in menu commands and the command language of dBASE.

Lotus 1-2-3 was able to successfully capture most of the spreadsheet market and after a number of setbacks regarding Ashton-Tate's flag product, dBASE, Borland bought Ashton-Tate and later sold Framework to Selections & Functions, Inc, who is still actively maintaining it.

1993 was pivotal for the xBase community because, as previously noted, Ashton-Tate had earlier sold dBASE as well as the rest of their product line to Borland and Microsoft had purchased FoxPro from Fox Software.

Borland had also purchased QuickSilver to get a foot up the development ladder for a dBASE version for Windows ( then 3. 1 ).

In 1994, Borland launched dBase V for Windows and dBASE V for DOS before selling the dBASE name and product line to dBASE Inc.
