And about as useful as libtermlib.  Sorry, this is not what we were
talking about at all.  By this metric, the printf() family of routines

We're talking about something which actually provides you with
scrolling list boxes, forms, "buttons", menus, the whole whack.

isn't in the same ballpark as what we're discussing, it's not even the
