Is there any simple ENGLISH examples for Free Vision???
oliverhbailey:
Hello,
This is one of the most poorly maintained cross platform languages ever!
There seems to be no documentation for Free Vision, and the github examples are written in German. If you use corss platform tools, with fpcupdeluxe, it is almost completely impossible to build any examples outside the mainline code. For a compiler that offer so many features, it's lack of good current documentation makes it hardly worth supporting and these side projects that are mentioned in the Free Pascal Wiki, don't offer complete support.
Is Free Vision even supported within the Free Pacal world or is it the pet project of the German who hosts the github site?
What would be wrong with having all examples in English or removing non-english tools out of the main wiki.

Probably due to the users that post low quality bug reports!
p.s. FPC is not hosted on github.

freevision isnt that much different from turbo vision
the only diff (i read it somewhere) is the palettes colors management in some few ways
So you can assume the manual under the link below is a good start/guide (I tested some concepts/examples)
they passed test like a charm

You only have yourself to blame if that is the case. You do realise that this is an open source project, right? What have you contributed other than unhelpful criticism?

Not everyone speaks/writes English perhaps?
