The reason I'm posting this is because I don't have ftp access.  However,
I can occasionally get specific archives via someone who does have access,
provided I know exactly what I want ahead of time.  So I need to get
recommendations for the "best" set of non-commercial tools out there.


REQUIRED FEATURES I'M LOOKING FOR
---------------------------------
1. Text-based windows & menus.  Not graphical or Windows-compatible stuff.
	Must either support 50 line VGA or else allow windows to be larger 
	than the screen and provide for scrolling around with a viewport.  
2. C++ source and/or GOOD documentation.  Must work with Borland C++ 3.0
3. Reasonably fast operation.
4. Freeware or shareware <= $30.

NICE IF I CAN GET IT
--------------------
1. Mouse support - fairly important
2. Not a memory hog 
3. Dynamic resizing/restacking of windows.
4. Additional common user-interface objects like dialog boxes, etc.
5. Simple objects (base classes) AND more complex derived objects.


Please email any recommendations (for or against) to the address at the 
bottom.  I'll be glad to summarize the responses within a week.

  nobody@kodak.com, but IMHO, I am not.)
