I am more than willing to accept any help, comments, and questions about my little project. I'm maintaining a port of TV to djgpp/Linux, but I still with doubts about Imprise (formerly Borland) intentions with the sources of TV. So I could need to replace it. Until now I searched for a replacement library without luck. I can't find a library that can handle *real* windows like TV does. To be more explicit: In TV you can draw to an overlapped window without damaging the window that have the focus and you are able to see what was drawed to this window if part of it is visible. Something very common in Windows, X, MacOS, etc GUIs, but not in TUIs. So I started to code it, but slowly because currently TV does what I need. SET -- Salvador Eduardo Tropea (SET).
