Handy ftp sites for source code
Last changed on 1995.03.10
There are a number of archives that contain files that may prove of
interest to you as a TV programmer. Some of the material is duplicated
at the different sites but there are some unique items at each site as
well.
These locations may contain code fragments, examples or libraries.
Chances are that you will not have to re-invent the wheel and that
you will find it at one of the following ftp sites.
What is available
- ftp.borland.com
- This site was dis-organised early in 1995. There are Turbo Vision
files to be found at /pub/techinfo/techdoc/language/c++/bcpp - if you
can detect which ones are TV. The LARN like maze to
/pub/techinfo/techdoc/language/c++/bcpp/ti contains the TI series.
- ftp.ee.und.ac.za
- Of special interest here are a graphical version of TV and patches for
porting TV to other compilers. This site is very slow if you are accustomed
to US ftp speeds.
- ftp.pharlap.com
- This site contains patches for the Pharlap DOS extender to work
with TV.
- garbo.uwasa.fi
- This is the Garbo Archives sited in sunny Finland. There are
libraries for database applications and C++ sources which are
suitable for use with TV.
- oak.oakland.edu
- This is a popular site for all kinds of code. The turbovis directory
contains code listings for C++ TV1.03 and TV2.0 (and Pascal Turbo Vision).
- vtucs.cc.vt.edu
- This site, amongst
other things, archives the Turbo Vision discussion list and
comp.os.msdos.programmer.turbovision for both
the C++ and Pascal versions of TV.
- CompuServe
- CompuServe is one of many commercial alternatives to
the Internet which contains a Turbo Vision forum. It may be assumed that
this site is an untapped resource for many users of TV.
