What is ETI ?? Is that an AT&T product?

I recently bought Aspen Scientific's CURSES/PC and FORMATION.
FORMATION is a higher-level menu generator on the top of curses.
It generates menus (pop-up, Lotus, pull-down) without much work.
What attracted me to this product is the potential portability.
FORMATION is sold both as an MS-DOS library and in source-code, so I can
use anywhere there is a working curses library.
So far I only have the PC version, the real test is still to come,
when I try to port the system we are developing to SysV.
