Uh no, that was sort of the point - we weren't going to write one
since we have Turbovision.  We don't really want to have to write a
CUI library since we also have to write all the code which calls it
and that's work enough as it is, and when Turbovision recently
appeared we figured we had our best bet in hand.

That's when you came along and said "but turbovision sucks!" and I
then asked if you had something better written.  Are we all caught up
now on the context of this conversation? :-)
