I will be writing some small programs to test TCP/IP sockets, and
would like to have several threads running simultaneously, each
writing to their own window or section of the screen.  I would like
each window to scroll so that the screen doesn't get messy.  The
compiler being used is IBM's C/Set++.

I have the freedom to make these test programs PM or VIO/Full Screen.

Can anyone suggest a simple method of neat and clean text output?
All I really need is a library that will divide the screen into
several pieces; I don't even need borders or title bars, etc.,
although they would be nice.

First I thought of using ANSI escape sequences to do cursor
positioning, etc. in a VIO or full screen window.  Then I realized
I'd have to manage the scrolling and clipping myself, and I figured
there might be an easier way.

Then I thought of using PM windows.  This in fact might be the best
way.  I'd like to get comfortable with them anyway.  But how does one
do scrolling within a PM window?  I don't want to use up a lot of
memory making list boxes that save every line of output.

Do you recommend the UICL?  Or just build a screen with the
interactive tool and use regular PM C functions?  I'm quite
comfortable with C++ but haven't yet used UICL.  By the way, any
suggestions on the best way to learn it?

Thanks for any help.
