I disagree.  It was largely Java that dealt the blow to PB ( at least in the
London financial district where I worked at the time ) and nothing to do
with the way PB was being managed. As for Watcom , that became the basis for
their mobile market. It was maybe a shame to see the C++ compiler die a
death, but then there were other C compilers out there already  - the market
was very small for watcom as a compiler company. It was the small footprint
database server that sybase wanted watcom for.

PB is as far as I can tell still developing fine. There are many IT
organisations who went for bloated java projects that would have been far
better off just sticking with PB.
