You could tell when something was made with Borland and TUI. Professional applications tended to look alike.
- lproven 3y ago[Article author here] This is true... but, to be fair, there were a handful of apps that went out of their way to look like Turbovision apps but weren't, and by the same token, it was possible to create (e.g.) Delphi apps that didn't look like it. The first console text editor I really liked on Linux was SETedit. https://setedit.sourceforge.net/#scrnsht https://setedit.sourceforge.net/#scrnsht That, I think, uses a 3rd party independent clone of Turbovision.
