Interesting (looked it up thanks to your post). As a means of recompiling old code for newer systems that is a great solution.



The most interesting part is that they've also made a very nice cross-platform clone of 1) Turbo Vision (yes, text mode and all), and 2) VCL.

Then, using that TV clone, they wrote a cross-platform clone of the original DOS Borland Pascal IDE - that even comes in the base FPC distribution. Works great in Linux console:

And using VCL, they wrote a cross-platform clone of Delphi (circa version 3) IDE!
