B.C. 3.0 with Application Frameworks is what you mean.  But, all of the
tools and interfaces (Windows and Dos) are for use with C++ not C.
I use BC's TURBO VISION, the Dos interface, and it is fairly good, but
a little hard to use. I do not know about any of their other tools since
I have never used them.

There are many PD/SHAREWARE tools out there. Check Simtel20 or one of
its mirrors wuarchive, etc..  One different place that I have found to
get some fairly good tools is from editors with good interfaces.  These
contain some form of menus, inputs lines, mouse, etc., and also has tools
like advanced string function, doubly and singly linked lists, stacks,
finite state machine functions, and some even have disk swapping 
algorithms.

Have fun, there is a lot of sources out there, but you also have
to sift through the junk!
