I downloaded it and with little effort I squeezed it through gcc. Unfortunately, it didn't work. There where simply no pages, even the built-in help pages I could only see, when running under a debugger. It was quite late and I didn't try too hard to get it working. So, my question is, if someone already got it to work. I really prefer a single fast program for viewing teletext, instead of running vbidecode and a slow java application. But this configuration does work and I like to thank Randall for his great work! :-) When we will ever meet, I'll contribute a sixpack of beer!
