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.
