[ whatever happened to that cute little line-eater? ]


I'm looking for some  information  on what is available for Unix in the way of
screen input design packages.

That is, when designing a program which gets information from an operator, are
there some  libraries/utilities  that will allow you to build an input  screen
(on an ordinary  terminal ) specifying  where the user can enter text and what
sort of text is allowed  (upper/lower case, numbers, special formats ...)  and
then allow you to use it from within your program.

I have seen  something  akin to what I want on some products for an IBM-PC but
they won't work on our Unix box (HP 9000/840).

Thanx,
