I have been using Turbo C Tools from Blaise Computing for the last 2 years but recently programs which have been stable have started crashing and acting strangely. I strongly suspect that this is connected to the fact that we upgraded to DOS 5.0 and Novell 3.11 recently and therefore I tried to call Blaise Computing for an update of the package. Strangely enough there is no one answering the phone and when I looked through BYTE adverts for the last year I noticed that Blaise Computing hasn't run an advert for a long time. Is Blaise Computing gone out of business ? If so can someone suggest a good C library which I can use instead of Turbo C Tools ? What I need is a library which can handle normal text output, scroll areas of the screen (instead of the whole screen), has decent windowing functions and good keyboard drivers. I have read about Greenleafs Super functions and Greenleafs Data Windows. Has someone used those ? Please e-answer by e-mail because I suspect that most people are not interested in reading about text libraries (instead of GUI libraries) and C (instead of something with the word "object" in it).
