I know of three: ncurses/CDK slang/newt TurboVision You've apparently don't like the ncurses interface, and the TurboVision license is a problem. Newt is pretty handy for simple apps, but it's rather limited, since it uses a "stack" of windows and only the top window is active. Documentation is lacking and some of the examples take a bit of work to figure out. CDK was approaching a decently usable state last time I messed with it (a few years ago). -- Grant Edwards grante Yow! I want a WESSON at OIL lease!! visi.com
