Fair use rationale for Image:Turbo Pascal 60 screenshot.gif[edit]

Image:Turbo Pascal 60 screenshot.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:12, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

TUI[edit]

I don’t think TUI is the proper def for tvision. Somewhere I encountered a statement that its a "graphical user interface" because allows graphic elements, in a not graphic video mode. Please remind me to do a professional revision of article.188.25.52.79 (talk) 09:25, 18 March 2012 (UTC) I removed "site doesn’t answer question" ..[reply]

It is a TUI because it runs in textmode, displaying text characters to mimic a graphical UI. Nils — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:4C50:231C:B600:ED2:92FF:FE0E:4A02 (talk) 14:56, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Release data is 1990[edit]

First release of Turbo Vision was in 1990, not 1992. Turbo Vision 1.0 comes with Turbo Pascal 6.0 in late of 1990. I absolutely sure. By the way Turbo Pascal's 6.0 IDE was written on Turbo Vision too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.49.178.185 (talk) 04:21, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

External link to a new fork of Turbo Vision[edit]

I am the developer of a fork of Turbo Vision independent from those already exposed in the article, with relevant features such as backward compatibility and Unicode support. In accordance with Wikipedia's guidelines, I should not post that link myself, so I ask you to add it to the article if you find it appropiate.

Link: A backward-compatible fork with Unicode support.

Unicode section should be improved[edit]

Turbo Vision was first released in September 1990 with Turbo Pascal 6.0. Unicode 1.0.0 was release October 1991. It didn't see wides-scale adoption until late 1995 with the release of Unicode support in Windows 95. So the statement that "One of the factors limiting Turbo Vision popularity was the absence of unicode support in original Borland's version" is very misleading. It implies that such a thing was possible.

Consider something like, "Adoption of Turbo Vision for modern platforms is handicapped by the absence of Unicode support as Turbo Vision predates Unicode."

Factual error about the internal IDE usage of Turbo Vision.[edit]

Borland C++ never used Turbo Vision for its IDE as implied by this article. Borland C++ always used an internal library that predated Turbo Vision (an extension of the library used to build Turbo C++ 1.0 and Turbo Pascal 5.5). Beginning with Turbo Pascal 6.0, the IDE code-bases for Turbo Pascal (Pascal and Turbo Vision based) and the Borland C++ (C++ and an internal C++ library based) diverged. They shared common core technology (the editor and the debugger) but not the rest of the IDE. Both the debugger and the core editor survived into Delphi 1.0 (the debugger was replaced with the change to target Win32 in Delphi 2.0 but the editor continued).
