I remember that I loved the Turbo Vision TUI's so much that I dreamed to have a copy of it as a kid. My family wasn't very well off, but I got Borland C++ 2.0 for Christmas. The compiler came with BGI graphics but they were NOT text mode. The library was also awfully slow (drawing a picture by repeatedly calling drawPixel() took minutes)
I don't remember the price of Turbo Vision, but I remember it was obscenely expensive in my third-world eyes. It was sold separately until it was finally bundled with BC++ 3.1 (1992).
