As Free Vision is not released (originally because it was more or less copied from Borland code), I wonder if the solution Virtual Pascal has selected could "make things happen" for FPC as well:

Virtual Pascal provides patches of the original TV source to adapt TV to OS/2 and Win32. So if I have the BP-TV source (which I do) I can patch TV for VP's native plattforms...

To the point: Is this a feasable option for the FPC team, at least for Linux (hint, hint ;)? Or will this be so much work that Free Vision is closer to release than this option? Or could the (now withdrawn) FV-version be easily adopted to this scheme?

Sorry to bother you with this, but I'm eager to build Linux- versions of my TV-apps! ;-)

This has actually been proposed several times, so an attempt could be made to do this.

On the other hand, Pierre Muller seems to have the new FV to a point where it can actually run an application. Since the patch for TV is almost as big as the sources itself, it may be a better strategy to cooperate with Pierre to get FVision to work.

That sounds like good news to me! The release of FV should be "real soon now" - hopefully(?)! ;-)
