Jayden, I don't know if you have used Windows (I'm sure you have), but my
program is essentially a DOS version of the System Configuration Editor
that came with Windows 3.x. I wrote this program using TV on Turbo Pascal
when I was working at CompUSA and customers would butcher Windows to the
point of not booting. The program opened all the files at once so I could
look at them all easily to see what was messed up.
At the time, the basic functionality was all I needed, so I didn't delve
into the program more. Releasing it to the FreeDOS community in it's
current form will probably get comments around the fact that it is a basic
Turbo Vision app and I didn't do "anything".
I am looking for some examples on how to extend the Turbo Vision Editor (or
FileEditor) object to include syntax highlighting. So far, I haven't been
fruitful in my search.
