@acb I literally have a copy of Turbo Pascal 7.0 for DOS on my shelf!
Happy that Turbo Vision is open source.
Tomorrow: I wish all of the Borland Turbo Pascal and Turbo C/C++ compiler stuff was open source. It's MS-DOS. It's time to *let it go.*
Day after tomorrow: WHY IS WORD PERFECT 5.1 STILL CLOSED SOURCE?
[EDIT] Day after that: WE NEED TO OPEN SOURCE WORDSTAR. GEORGE R. R. MARTIN DEPENDS ON IT.

@umbraroze @acb "GEORGE R. R. MARTIN DEPENDS ON IT." Modify it so it refuses text entry unrelated to ASOIAF

@umbraroze @acb We had some bits of the WordStar source code - I think it was some of the configuration files you got, as assembler language source code. There was enough there for us to deduce the social dynamics of the team who'd written it.
