Our ship come in? :-)
I've been playing with this a little bit, and while it does evoke some
feelings of nostalgia ("So *that*'s where that L&F came from!" :-)
it's also pretty useful. Set your terminal type to xterm-color (or
look at it from a syscons vty) and it really starts to sit up and
dance. It's a complete CUI environment, basically everything we've
been saying we wanted all this time.
Of course I'm of two minds about this. One side says "Hey, it's a
gift horse! Take it!" The other says "Yeah, sure, but do you want
your install to forever have that weird look of a Borland Pascal
installation? :-)

P.S. One thing that needs immediate fixing, however, before this will
fly in production - the ALT key handling is broken! And it doesn't
grok moused either (but does support Linux's GPM)! :-)

This is the DESC file:
Turbo Vision (or TV, for short) is a library that provides an application
framework. With TV you can write a beautiful object-oriented character-mode
user interface in a short time.
TV is available in C++ and Pascal and is a product of Borland International.
It was developed to run on MS-DOS systems, but today it is available for many
other platforms (ported by independent programmers).
This port is based on the Borland 2.0 version with fixes.
Borland has released the source code to the public some time ago (take a look
at the COPYRIGHT file in the source package for more informations).
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I placed the library in
ftp.cdrom.com:/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/tvision-0.3.tar.gz
and the port is
ftp.cdrom.com:/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/tvision-0.3.port.tar.gz
Please move the source package (tvision-0.3.tar.gz) to
freefall.cdrom.com:/pub/FreeBSD/LOCAL_PORTS
since i have not a master ftp site to hold it.
Note: when the library is dinamically-linked sometimes the
resulting executable doesn't run. I don't know why.
Thanks,
Sandro
