    Who knew Turbo Vision was still being used — much less updated, Unicode, cross platform, 24-bit color?

    I’ve been struggling around issues in .Net Terminal.GUI v2 recently and it really made me miss the OG solid terminal UI library. Silly thing is back when this was a thing I didn’t even use it at the time.

    I found this repo linked: https://github.com/magiblot/tvision

      FWIW Free Vision that comes with Free Pascal is also updated and is also based on the original Turbo Vision that Borland released under public domain back in the 90s. Free Vision is used for the text-mode IDE that comes with Free Pascal and is ported to almost much every supported platform.

      Yeah what a joyful blast from the past! I love that whole aesthetic; the best of the DOS days IMO.

    Are there any bindings for other languages than cpp?
