Free Vision is part of Free Pascal, however with the advent of tools like Lazarus and it's LCL the main effort is spent their. The only real user of Free Vision is FPC's textmode IDE and is probably the best example of using Free Vision.

Feel free to translate the examples. This is an open source project after all.

I've used it a little bit without substantial problems. After all, it's written in Pascal, not English.

The testapp.pas in the fpc examples directory is in english. You may have to download that if you checked out and built from source. In the distribution the examples should be installed. And yes, FPC is not officially on github, as Marco wrote.
Testapp covers all the basics. And as already stated, you can use most Turbo Vision examples that do not use assembler.

Very interesting replies..
First, the excuse "it's an open source project" seems a little lame. Most open source projects lack good documentation because developer's either can't, or don't like to write. This tool is an excellent compiler and cross-development tool, but there is a lot of old information that needs to be removed and is no longer applicable to current or recent, prior versions.
Successful open source projects have well written documentation, and keep it updated. Some users are interested in using the tool, not writing it. Try buying a Jeep kit, yes an unassembled Jeep. They were crated and sold until the 1970's when they were all sold out. Would you rather drive or build your car.
I'm not into listening to you BS, an American English acronym, after 45 years of development so you're barking up the wrong tree boys.
I did download the TV manual. The current example crashes compiled with FPC 3.2.0 and Lazarus 2.10 due to a memory management problem. No, I'm not fixing it!!
And thank you for your responses, it gives great insight into why a lot of old, out of date information is posted. You're too busy defending yourselves. If you can't be helpful, STFU. You can look that one up on your own, it is well documented.
Cheers!
