Sorry for this. Until I have not prepared the sources to use only diffs against the original sources from Borland they will not be available. BTW: I do not understand it in all things, because the sources for the TV lib are still public available, but Borland said, that they should be downloaded only from their FTP-site and from nowhere else (and they are there, I checked it). OK, I append to this post also the mail, which the maintainer of the Turbo Vison home page got. Onyone, who ist interested can send a mail there (or directly to Borland), maybe it helps.

I apologize for not responding right away. For convenience, I am copying you and two other people who wrote to me personally with Turbo Vision questions. As you know, it is widely believed that Borland has released Turbo Vision into the public domain. Regrettably, that is not true. However, this does not affect the rights or licenses granted to any licensed user of the Turbo Vision product. Obviously, you may write and compile programs using the Turbo Vision libraries, and distribute them in object code form as part of your application. You may also distribute your own Turbo Vision patches and bug-fixes so long as it is limited to your own code. However, you may not distribute the Turbo Vision source code without permission from Borland. Part of the reason Borland has not released Turbo Vision into the public domain is Turbo Vision remains an important and valuable feature of Borland's Turbo Pascal 7.0 for DOS, which is currently available from Borland. If Borland decides to release Turbo Vision into the public domain in the future, (or if Borland releases it under different licensing terms) I will make sure a notice is posted to the Turbo Vision list. I hope this helps clear up any confusion. I know it is not the answer you had hoped for, but if you have any additional questions, please feel free to reply. Eric Pesik BORLAND INTERNATIONAL
