I have the following "problem":

We currently use a combination of Microfocus COBOL and ObjectView for a
large project. ObjectView is used as a smart interface to the Windows
SDK. It basically is a C interface (COBOL can call C programs). The
interface solves all problems of screen refreshes etc.

ObjectView delivers a screen painter which generates a special p-code
objectfile . This file is used by the runtime. One can communicate with
the UIF by simple functions allowing putting values in fields, list
boxes etc and getting the user actions. E.g. pressing a button triggers
a specific (definable) C function.

The major problem of ObjectView is cost. They charge for run-rimes and
we are talking about 20-40,000 systems here.

What I want to know is if there are other smart UIF systems delivering a
simple way to access the Windows UIF. The system has to be linkable in a
C environment and must support the medium and large memory models.
Preferable the entier program should be in DLL's.

Anyone any suggestions?
