 I picked up a thread like that on compuserve. Apparently Borland will
 not say that TPW will support turbo vision (in fact it strongly denies
 it). On the other hand the comment was that if you learn TV now,
 porting to TPW will bw much much easier, which implies a measure of
 support for TV. Also, when I saw a beta version of TPW it looked like
 compiling a TV app quite effortlessly. IMHO TV is a useful thing to
 learn.
