The author's page says that it's now GPL3. Does anybody know whether
there's a permanent repository for this anywhere, since we probably don't
want it to vanish utterly?



Interesting - the FPide does not use visual editor or make use of this for
its dialogs?


No connection at all, and I'd note that the fp IDE responds correctly to 
window resize signals while the FreeVision demo doesn't.



I'm not volunteering to do anything with this myself since I have rather
a lot of problems right now. I only investigated because I was trying to
salvage an antique Visual Basic for DOS manual which had been
water-damaged.


Shouldn't take too long to just upload one zip file to a github account
somewhere... if you have, or someone has


In any event, as intended this discussion has got Google pointing at the 
file on archive.org which is usually unindexed.


There's also this link but it's not the primary source and doesn't say 
explicitly that it's GPL http://www.eschecs.fr/fichiers/DIALEDIT3b.zip
