Argh! Aren't there _any_ decent, simple, text windowing libraries out there? I've looked at : - libdialog (of sysinstall fame) - 'SAA' (from an obscure german FTP site) - D-Flat Each of these falls short of expectations in one or more important fashions. libdialog is zorklike, and Jordan gives off bad emanations about it. 'SAA' has a hideously unfriendly interface metaphor, and D-Flat is a DOS monster written with no regard for structure, documentation or portability. Has anyone written or used a CUA-style package that offers the basic stuff; a menubar, popup dialogs, form entry etc.? -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
