Still around.

And it gets even better. They’re now owned by Micro Focus, most well known in the early PC era for Micro Focus COBOL.

It looks like they’re primarily development tools these days, and still do COBOL. Don’t see anything about Pascal. I know some guys who do smartphone development who use Silk, one of their tools.

TP became Delphi, which was spun-out/sold-to another company -- I think there was several sales, or talks thereof, because I vaguely remember worries that it would become like WordPerfect -- however, that fear has not been realized as Embarcadero is still around and doing [active] development on the product, IDE, and language... while WP seems to be getting the breadcrumbs left over from Corel's focus on its image/video software.
