Hi !

For X-Windows Screen painters you can contact:

ISA Informationssysteme fuer computerintegrierte Automatisierung GmbH
Azenbergerstrasse 35
D-7000 Stuttgart 1
Tel: (0711)22769-0
Fax: (0711)22769-19
Net: info@isaak.uucp

They have a product called 'Dialog Manager'. Looks pretty fine, has interfaces
to C, Pascal, Fortran, Cobol, Basic. 
If you want to talk to a DBMS, you have to code your own procedures, called
from within the dialog runtime.

NSL Non Standard Logics
57-59, Rue Lhomond
75005 Paris
France
Tel: (33-1)43367750
Telex: 206 044 F NSL
Net: They are on the net, I just lost the address. If anybody knows,
     *PLEASE* tell me.

Their product is called Graffiti, the user interface builder.
Same structure as Dialog Manager.
NSL also offers a *VERY* nice 'Iconic User Shell'  for X, called WISh.
Forget what you've seen on AMIGA, ATARI, OS/2 or DOS(boo), WISh is great.
An X-based editor, called WX is also available. WX uses most of the GNU Emacs
key bindings, if you don't work with it's pulldowns.

If you get more info on other products, pleas drop me note. 
Bye, johnny
