I think you're misremembering things. I'm pretty sure I ran CP/M Turbo Pascal as a kid and the page you link says:

The final step in November 1983 - Turbo Pascal v1.0 is created for Borland International, Inc. Distributed on a single floppy disk, Turbo Pascal integrated the Pascal compiler, Wordstar-like text editor, runtime library, run in memory, and creation of .COM programs - all within 131,297 bytes in the TURBO.COM file. The whole product was 33k bytes in size and ran in 64k bytes of memory. The product was delivered for CP/M-80 (Z/80, 5.25 and 8 inch floppy disks), CP/M-86, and MS-DOS/PC-DOS.

Blush. I'm delighted to be corrected as I didn't know this. A 15 year old version of me met The Man himself at a trade show where he was demoing COMPAS Pascal, running a maze generator. I've learned a lot from using and disassembling his software.
