Just FYI, I've never used TVision either nor studied its use. But I do know a bare minimum about its software ports (maybe). Sorry, but I heavily doubt that it would work with OpenWatcom. Most people don't use anything but GCC, usually only on Linux or FreeBSD. OW 1.8 did heavily improve C++ support, but I have no idea if that is anywhere near good enough for something like this. And you'd still have to work around the obligatory Autotools. Yeah, I'm sure you know all that. So don't get your hopes up too high for that. EDIT: A very naive Google search shows this old news: "(2005-09-19) Open Watcom support added: Now you can compile Turbo Vision using the Open Watcom. It compiles to a DLL. Lothar helped to make it possible." (I also found a a different post on a different website by him saying "DOS is supported too, but I haven't tested that.") IIRC, there were two TVision ports: one BSD-licensed, one GPL-licensed. I think the latter is what you're referring to here. http://www.sigala.it/sergio/tvision/ http://tvision.sourceforge.net/ IIRC, this was used (and still) by SETedit (and thus long-dead RHIDE). Okay, so his SETedit SourceForge page doesn't show any activity since 2012, but that's still fairly recent. (Though he seemingly abandoned the DJGPP port a long time ago [2004?], sigh.) http://setedit.sourceforge.net/ Only the C++ version of TVision was open-sourced. The Pascal one remained proprietary, so FPC and pals had to port / rewrite most of it themselves (FreeVision). http://wiki.freepascal.org/Free_Vision BTW, I think Jim Michaels (who frequents on freedos-* lists) has done some fiddling with TVision recently, so you may want to email him directly. P.S. You might do better with TxWin (LGPL, C), which does explicitly support DOS via OW: http://trac.netlabs.org/txwin/ Argh, his download link is broken. You might have to email him directly (although I also seem to have a local .ZIP copy here if desperate). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming!
