It's been many years since most of us used that. I don't even remember it, to be honest.

A quick suggestion here would be to try to find more than just CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT. Specifically, I'm thinking of FDCONFIG.SYS, FDAUTO.BAT, or similarly renamed files (e.g. DR-DOS 7.03: DCONFIG.SYS, AUTODOS7.BAT or whatever). > At the time, the basic functionality was all I needed, so I didn't delve > into the program more.

I've honestly never delved into TVision myself. I know you're using TP here, but IIRC even FreePascal has its own clone, FreeVision, which is used in their (TUI) IDE for DOS. They also have experimental 16-bit DOS target support, but I honestly don't know if FreeVision works there (yet). I'm not really in the loop on what's going on over there. But anyways, you may want to take a look at that. IIRC, their IDE supports syntax highlighting, so it may be something they added to FV. 1). http://wiki.freepascal.org/Free_Vision 2). http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/user/usersu52.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BPM Camp - Free Virtual Workshop May 6th at 10am PDT/1PM EDT Develop your own process in accordance with the BPMN 2 standard Learn Process modeling best practices with Bonita BPM through live exercises http://www.bonitasoft.com/be-part-of-it/events/bpm-camp-virtual- event?utm_ source=Sourceforge_BPM_Camp_5_6_15&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=VA_SF _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
