Screen Package for `C'--recommendations needed.

I am looking to buy a package of screen design functions for use with
Microsoft C 6.0.  I was looking at C-Worthy by Solution Systems, but
my boss was reluctant to shell out $400 for the package w/ source.
Currently I am leaning toward Vitamin C.  If anyone has any info on
any of these packages, or any suggestions for other suitable packages,
please e-mail me as soon as possible.

Thanks in advance,
Neil

Hey Neil,

I would like to STRONGLY suggest looking at CXL.  This is a shareware
package with a lot of bang for the buck.  It is a full-featured C add
on library for any of the following compilers:

	Microsoft C/Quick C/Zortech C/Turbo C

And for ONLY $35 you get disk with your choice of LIBS AND THE COMPLETE
SOURCE CODE!!!  The author's name is Mike Smedley, out of Texas.  And I
and several of my friends are quite happy with CXL.

The current version is 5.2, although SimTel20 has the demo version of
5.1, OK?

Here's the address/info:

	CXL Version 5.2
	c/o Mike Smedley
	P.O. Box 33603
	San Antonio, TX  78265

He's been working on it for years and plans to keep up the support,
including rumors about a NEW and IMPRESSIVE 6.0 version!

If you are not able to access Simtel and would like the demo, just
send me some email, OK?

:)
jim

CXL is great.  If it were for me, I'd buy it.  I tried really hard to
contact the author a while back.  Everyone around here said that he
had disappeared.  Unfortunately, the small model won't do for large
database apps.  If anyone knows what happened to Mike Smedley, please
let me know.  I even sent mail to his compuserve acct. and had it
bounce because his mailbox was full.

Thanks,
Neil

I have heard a rumor that Chip Rabinowitz, who can be reached by phone
at (215) 884-3373 or e-mail at 76702.1361@compuserve.com is going to
be getting the marketing rights to CXL. While I can't call it more
than a rumor until negotiations are complete and Chip announces it,
my source is sufficiently reliable that I can say that Chip will
not mind any phone calls or e-mail by potential customers in the
meantime.

Non-disclaimer: I have no financial ties to anyone associated with this.

  Does anyone have an e-mail address, FAX number or other contact for CXL ?
  Physical mail becomes somewhat of a problem in the antipodes.  Or even
  better -- is there anyone in Australia that alread has it.

I too am looking for a program to design screens with pull-down menus
that is compatible with Turbo C++ Pro.  It must support graphics mode!
Please e-mail responses, and all information is greatly appreciated!

Thanx much!
