IMHO only if you make something small. TV allows the most rich textmode apps I know. Problem is that it might require some debugging here and there, but that will pay itself back on a larger project. Specially if you have no gigantic requirements on terminal independance. Look at the IDE (+source) to get an idea of the potential of TV/FV. > vs. Learning Turbo Vision which I've never used... > > Is Turbo Vision more complicated than ncurses ? Definitely. But also has way more possibilities, and is more productive. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
