What you want is STDWIN. See uunet:~ftp/amiga-sources.

STDWIN exists for various systems.  Some code is shared between all
systems, some code is specific to a particular system.  Below is a
matrix, listing for each system which directories you should fetch; demo
programs are listed with those systems for which they make sense.

(Sorry for making this so complicated.  Some day, I'll get to
simplifying the installation process.)

To get a complete implementation for any one target system, retrieve
the indicated files (don't forget to set binary mode in ftp) into
a freshly created directory.  Every file retrieved should be run
through uncompress and tar, as follows:

	uncompress <MAIN.tar.Z | tar xf -

Every archive file extracts files into a single subdirectory, named
after the archive's basename, except MAIN.tar.Z, which extracts files
into the current directory.

Then follow the steps of configuration and compilation mentioned in the
file INSTALL.  Some test programs are found in the subdirectory test
(although not all programs there make sense for the termcap version).
A more elaborate test program is miniedit, which implements a simple
multi-window text editor.  It is possible to build the TERMCAP and X11
versions in the same directory.
