[fpc-pascal] TurboVision is reborn as FOSS (again)

[Travis Siegel]

I don't know what non native english speakers are taught, nor can I 
address the folks across the pond, but here in the Us at least, has 
denotes currently exists, while had indicates past tense, I.E. no longer 
exists.  Combining the two is where it gets dicy, and is generally 
avoided for syntactical reasons.
