I'm posting this for a friend, so please reply to the address at the bottom:

I'd like a single C language API to develop GUI's across a number of
platforms, including Windows, Motif, Open Look, OS/2, and DOS Graphics.
 
I know of a couple of toolkits that come close.
 
XVT from XVT Corp.
Lots of platforms except NOT DOS Graphics.
 
Wndx from Wndx Corp.
Does everything I need including DOS graphics.  Anyone have any positive
or negative experience with this product?
 
I know there are also C++ class libraries from Zinc and Glockenspiel for
cross GUI development.  But I have an existing code base and knowledge
base in C and don't know if the investment in C++ will be practical.
 
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks,
 
Bill Stamp
