I have heard that the new GeosWorks for DOS is pretty nice, but mostly what
I see are window managers based on the Metawindows C-library.  Metawindows
ships a free demonstration, and it is a REAL fast and small library of
awesome graphics routines.  WNDX is one of the names that I can remember
that uses Metawindows.  Metawindows is $99 mail order for one language,
and it uses a loadable TSR.  The option for the linkable libraries is about
250 I believe.  WNDX and the other GUIs are about 150+ each but usually
are pretty nice.  If you are using C++, I would NOT recommend the Zinc Interface
Library.  It was VERY kludgy looking, and looked like hell to program.
