Vermont Creative Software has two products called "Windows for C" and
"Windows for Data" (I have no connection with VCS ... the following info 
comes from their advertisements).  Both are subroutine libraries and have
source code available at extra charge.  One advantage of these libraries
is that versions are available for Unix (various flavors), VAX/VMS, MS-DOS, 
OS/2 as well as uncommented source for porting to other terminal based 
systems.  Another advantage is that there are no royalties to be paid (with
certain restrictions such as not using WFC/WFD in products that compete with
their own).

Windows for C contains functions for window and menu management.  Windows for
Data (which includes Windows for C) adds functions for data entry (field 
definition, data entry screen management, scrollable sub-forms, field 
specific help, etc).  I have no experience with the packages other than
taking a brief look at the manuals and would be interested in reactions from
others.

Approximate prices for the HP 9000/840 in $US (price list 12/1987) are:

	                                 Windows for C         Windows for Data
	binaries or uncommented source:      $4400                  $5900
	full source:                         $8500                  $11,500
