Wow! What an awesome and pleasant surprise! I have such fond memories of using Borland IDEs from that era and some of the applications built with TV. Thank you for making it modernized and available on Linux!

Indeed it was! This library produced easily discoverable UIs, it worked just as well with the keyboard or the mouse. The default layout was very pleasant.

From the developer's perspective, it was a joy to work with. I made some projects using pascal and C++ if I remember correctly.
