> I could not binary-patch Borland C++ to perfectly cooperate with screens that have other width than 80 characters. So I was cornered and had no choice but to make my own editor. I could no longer remember how to use Turbo Vision, and I couldn’t bother to study, so I wrote the editor entirely from scratch.
That reasoning doesn't make much sense. I think he just wanted to write an editor (which is fine). I'm pretty sure I used DJGPP's RHIDE with 132 columns, and doing Turbo Vision stuff following the excellent documentation is pretty simple.
