You could look at OpenUI from Open Software Associates which offer
a user interface building tool that allows you to develop a user interface
using a point & click WYSIWYG builder running on Windows 3 or Motif/Unix, then
compile it for your intended platform and link it to you application code
written in C (or even COBOL!). The user interface can be compiled to run on:
Windows 3, Presentation Manager, Motif (Unix), OPEN LOOK and others. From
looking at their marketing blurb, it is intended for conventional
forms based information systems, rather than graphical applications, although
you can display bitmapped pictures.

Try contacting them at:
