Console IDE Based on Turbo Vision for C/C++ Development #179

Description

@unxed

We need a Turbo Vision–based console IDE for developing Turbo Vision applications. FreePascal has its own text mode IDE based on their version of Turbo Vision, known as FreeVision. It replicates the UX of the Turbo Pascal IDE, which offered a solid user experience. A similar development environment for C/C++ would help in creating new Turbo Vision applications, porting legacy ones, and would also serve as a showcase of developing with Turbo Vision itself.

I've explored possible alternatives and identified two viable options:

  1. Porting RHIDE and SETEDIT to the modern version of Turbo Vision and adapting them for Unicode support.

  2. Adding the ability to build turbo as a library (similar to how SETEDIT is compiled as a library when being built as part of RHIDE), which would allow building an IDE based on it.
