Does anybody out there have experience with commercially available
windowing libraries?  That is, libraries that help create stand-alone
GUI applications running on a PC under MS-DOS.

In particular, I have looked at:

    product        vendor
    -------------  -------------------------
    graphics-MENU  Island Systems
    Zinc           Zinc Software (brand new)
    GUIDO          South Mountain Software
    C-scape        Oakland Group, Inc.

I need to keep the size of the executable down, and I would be willing to
sacrifice some functionality to do so.  I'd appreciate any comments
from anybody who has used (or knows somebody who has) any of these or other
products.  A major concern is reliability - I don't want to be spending time
tracking down bugs in the graphical system.

Thanks much.
