try UltraWin if you want to see something impressive.  :-)  I've just
submitted the latest version (2.10) for upload to SIMTEL --- watch for
the announcement on comp.ibm.pc.binaries.archives in the next few days
or so (don't really know how long it normally takes).

in addition to how nice the library itself is, I've found the support
from the authors to be absolutely top-notch, without exception.  your
mileage may vary, of course, but so far, that's been the case for me.

DISCLAIMER:  my only association with EnQue Software (UltraWin's authors)
is that of a satisfied customer.  nothing else, period.  the above thoughts
are purely personal opinion.  dih dah, dih dah, dih dah....
