Well you have the MS-DOS era Borland tools.
Someone took the time to rewrite it as a cross-platform open source library: https://github.com/magiblot/tvision
Edit: Not a rewrite, but a port. See comments below.

I just now came across the following related to Turbo Vision:
> TuiCss is a library focused to create web applications using an interface based on ASCII table, like the old MS-DOS applications. ...... The base of this project is Turbo Vision Framework, but some other frameworks were also checked to introduce some features to TuiCss, like curses, ncurses, Newt, etc.
what i would like to see is a gui layer that wraps turbo vision such that i can have apps that work in the terminal and in a GUI. ideally so that the app binaries directly work in both without any recompile or change of code.
