Creating text editor like EDIT on Command Prompt using FreePascal

Question

I want to create a texteditor for my DOS program. I want to create it using FreePascal Compiler. Anybody know the logical programming for create it?

SO is for specific programming/computing issues, not broad "how do I write a program?" questions. — Syon, Aug 09 '13 at 19:18

Make sure FPC is installed and set up properly (including the PATH), download the main sources if needed. (depends on platform)
run "make" in packages/fv/examples/ (in the sources) so that it compiles testapp.pas to testapp.exe
run testapp.exe and select File->New, you are now in the editor.
Study the testapp source and remove any parts from the program you don't like. A reference book for a Turbo Pascal "Turbo Vision" library (which is very similar to the FPC provided FV library that this demo uses) is a great asset for this.

thanks ... but that example return message: testapp.pas(38,2) Fatal: can't open include file platform.inc – Lihat Terjemahan Aug 10 '13 at 15:18
I'm just deleting "{$I platform.inc}",after I compile it... It's so wonderful... thank you. – Lihat Terjemahan Aug 10 '13 at 15:24
or copy platform.inc from fv/src to that dir – Marco van de Voort Aug 12 '13 at 10:30
