There is a great package called OPEN.UI available from a company called
Open Software Associates (OSA) here in Australia.  It handles UI
development very productively, and then runs the UI without change
on a range of common GUI's including Windows 3.0, Motif, OpenLook,
DOS without Windows, and even ordinary terminals.  And it looks
absolutely native on each environment (I've seen it) !

It handles all the UI development and management stuff, and has a very
nice interface to common languages, including C, C++ and COBOL (!)

It was recently introduced at the CeBIT Hanover Fair, and from what
I've heard it got a very hot reception in Europe.

Their phone number is + 613 871 1666.  From the US you will need to
call in the evening.  Last I heard they were planning a US office soon.
In the meantime, I can only offer you the Australian contact.

John.
