In most issues of Unix Review and Unix World is an add from a company called Byte Designs. They sell a C-Isam package (that we have) and a package they call W that is a windowing library "makes curses obsolete" according to their add (that we don't have). $300 gets you the source. We've been using a package from The Oakland Group called C-scape. Also advertised in the above mentioned rags. We've been using this on Qnx and ms-dos, and have it ordered for unix. It is quite nice. No royalties. Cost for unix is about $1000.00. There are others. -Larry
