I dowloaded TCXL551.ZIP from WSMR the other day and was able to build
the demo with turbo c/c++.  The include file shows up missing because
of a typing error in the demo( i assume ). I deleted the package and don't
remember the name of the culprit header file but you can get around it
by either editing the demo and removing the leading underscore or if
your editor won't handle files > 64k by copying the file.h to _file.h.

After unzipping, the header files are located in a subdirectory
relative to the demo.

Although I didn't spend much time with it, the package looks like a
very complete text based toolkit with support for windows, menus, ems,
mouse, string handling, etc.  I don't remember seeing any support for
graphics mode.

Hope this helps,

Mike.
