[fpc-pascal] Free Vision apps via SSH
Hi, Does anybody here still develop applications (big or small) using FPC's Free Vision toolkit? I need to create a few console applications and thought of using Free Vision for the user interface. I've never used Free Vision before, and haven't touched Turbo Pascal's equivalent in 20+ years. I thought it might be fun though. :) Would this be a good idea, or would there be some problems? I've tried various SSH clients (Linux, FreeBSD, Putty) and connected via SSH to my FreeBSD server and ran FPC's Text IDE without problems. I had to tweak the font for Putty, but then it worked and looked perfect. I know Free Vision also supports the mouse, but I don't need that here - purely text based with keyboard input. What's your thoughts or experiences with Free Vision?

What's your thoughts or experiences with Free Vision? I use the IDE sometimes over putty for basic editing of small apps on remote machines, and that generally works ok. I don't debug much in it though. ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

Regards, - Graeme - Hi Graeme, I started using Free Vision for this project a few months ago: http://turbocontrol.com/gnuroot.htm There are Free Pascal mini-distribution zips on this page that have the textmode IDE source and also the Free Vision testapp example: http://ctrlterm.com/ports.htm I hope those help to make starting with Free Vision easier!
