I would like to find out when it will be possible to use FreeVision library (clone TurboVision) and as far as developers are close to completion?

As you may know, Free Vision is already finished and wordks very well (it's used in our IDE). The problem with it is that it's based on Borland's sources for Turbo Vision and as such we can't distribute it.

We're also working on FVISION (available by checking out the fvision module from cvs, see <http://www.freepascal.org/develop.html#cvs> for info on how to use cvs), which is a completely new implementation of Free Vision with no Borland , despite much
work by Pierre, it's not ready yet (it still crashes a lot and I believe keypresses are lost also). Maybe Pierre can say what exactly still has to happen to fvision to make it usable.
