I've read reviews in Byte magazine of Turbovision for its Pascal compilers.
I want to develop code sporting a windows feel but running on plain DOS.
My questions:
- is Turbovision easy to use and efficient?
- is it standard with Borland's C and C++ compilers?
- are there better windowing packages available from other companies?
Thanks in advance.

No, it is very clumsy to use. If you like LISP, however, you might like TV (lots of nested ()'s). > - is it standard with Borland's C and C++ compilers? No. Nor is it available separately. > - are there better windowing packages available from other companies? Yes, check out Object Professional by TurboPower Software. This package is much easier to use. -- Jerry Gardner, NJ6A Altos Computer Systems UUCP: {sun|pyramid|sco|amdahl|uunet}!altos!jerry 2641 Orchard Parkway Internet: jerry@altos.com San Jose, CA 95134 Help stamp out vi in our lifetime.
