The source library from FST has a module Windows which looks fairly 
portable.  It does use the library calls suggested by N.Wirth.  I do
not know if the JPI core modules are complete enough to port a standard
library based source without lots of hassle.

I did modify the library to support my full page monitor in less than 30
minutes.


The version that I have, timestamped Nov 19, '88, does not support
menus.
