I am looking for a package that we can use to develop a product
across different platforms.  What we are looking for is a package
that will allow us to have windows, pull down menus, perhaps buttons,
graphics, mouse driven, but at the same time, we need to support
plain old ASCII terminals as well.

Perhaps somebody can point me in the right directions.

Obviously compromises need to be made, but there must be some good
packages out there.

Platforms we are primarily looking at:

	Unix, Ultrix, Xenix, DG/UX, DOS, Macintosh Operating Systems.

	DEC Microvax or RISC machines, Data General AViiON, Compaq 386,
	IBM PS/2's, Macintosh hardware.

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

There's a few packages that I know of...

One is called XVT (eXtensible Virtual Toolkit) from XVT Software.
It allows you to create applications for 6 environments: MacOS, MS
Windows, Presentation Manager, X11/Motif, X11/Open Look, and
character-based environments. XVT ph: 303-443-4223.

Another is called Open Interface by Neuron Data, which allows you to build
applications on Macintosh, DOS, OS/2, Unix and VMS environments in MacOS,
MS WIndows, Presentation Manager, Motif and Open Look GUI styles. Sounds
similar to XVT. Neuron Data ph: 415-321-4488.
