I have used Mewel, a text-based windowing library which works pretty well, for a non-trivial application. It emulates as much of the Windows API as makes sense under text-mode. However, if you're not interested in trying for single-source tree for your application code to compile under both Windows and DOS, Mewel probably has a higher overhead in terms of speed and memory footprint than is desirable. There are a large number of others... a new one recently came out which also provides Windows API support. This question needs to be put into the FAQ. -- | Ping Huang (INTERNET: pshuang@martigny.ai.mit.edu) speaking for himself. | "One Thing to name them all, One Thing to define them, | One Thing to place them in environments and bind them..."
