Gawd, that's in the FAQ?!?  I'd asked DJ and Steve to pull it off the
net because I got a bit paranoid about Borland (too much of it was a
rip-off of Turbo-vision at the time ('95)).  { Eli, can you update the
faq to say bcgui is available directly from me (see email below) and
remove the web references please?}

`bcgui' as such still exists, but has been updated and improved (sort
of:).  I can send you a copy by mail (I still don't want to put it on
the net, still paranoid even though turbovision is now free (sort of)
and there's little code in common) if you want.

Note, it currently uses a hacked version of Allegro 2.2 (I think it's
.2, the latest 2.x anyway) and I haven't got around to porting it to
Allegro 3.x (hacks no longer needed!) as I don't use dos alot now (I'll
have to get dpmi and non-root dosemu going nicely).

Please send any responses to bill AT taniwha DOT tssc DOT co DOT nz (my home email) as
my gui is at home and I don't feel like bringing it to work.

For more info, you can email me (preferably at my taniwha address).

Bill
