A client of mine is in the process of converting an application
originally written for Presentation Manager (OS/2) to both X-Windows
and ordinary character based terminals.

Now for the question:

Is there any tool that "mimics" the functionality of the window
manager, i.e. a set of functions that have the same names and
interface as (some of) the functions in X Toolkit, Xlib, and some the
widget library, but talk to a dumb terminal instead of a X server?


I know it's a somewhat strange notion, but it must be possible to
write such a library. Or?
