ðŸĪŊ Wow, a terminal emulator for your terminal! 🚀 Because clearly, what we needed was more terminals inside our terminals, powered by the revolutionary Turbo Vision. ðŸĶ„ Next up: a browser that lets you browse browsers, because who doesn't love a good recursive loop? 🙃

Okay, #term39 is giving me some serious #DESQview (with a side order of #TurboVision) vibes and I like it. #msdos #dos #terminal

@whitequark Turbo Vision is the most advanced and best designed TUI widget toolkit of all times! Nothing else comes even close to it. I also miss the tiny improvements that they added in TV2.0 (part of Borland Pascal 7) which AFAIK wasn't open sourced. Improvements like changing the window close symbol from [■] to [☾] while it's being clicked.

I guess one can even forgive it's pascalish `#define Uses_TWindow` quirks...

Why can't I recompile #ctran for 16-bit #DOS? Because many of #FreePascal's libraries are too big to fit into 64 KiB data blocks, and won't compile no matter which memory model I use.

There is a chance I'll rewrite ctran in the future. #FreeVision (the #Borland #TurboVision "clone") with #ObjectPascal is certainly an option. I could also rewrite the lot in C or C++.

But today is not that day. For now, I'd rather just rewrite a Makefile.
