I've just come across
http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php?topic=18998.0 which was asking about a dialog(ue) editor for Turbo/Free Vision. The links it cites are dead, but the author's page is still available at http://web.archive.org/web/20151002202724/http://home.comcast.net/%7EJamesMClark5/Pascal/index.htm and the content of DIALEDIT3b.zip appears to be intact.

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?

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.

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

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

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

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
