Borland later killed off the product, Bob took it back from them, and kept releasing new versions of PowerBASIC until he passed away. From what I understand he kept his source repository encrypted and didn't share the details of how to access with anyone, not even his wife, so the product died with him.

There was some car show episode with an actual barn-find unmolested 70s Dodge Charger with matching numbers. The widow had no idea what it was worth so the guy showed her the assessment and paid her the fair market value.
