I am looking for a Windowing/Menu library(ies) for developing
software with MSC5.1.  I currently have the 'C Windows Toolkit' from
Magna Carta Software which as a starting point has been quite good.
It handles most screen types, comes with source and was reasonable
cheap.  My problem is that it is *slow*!

I would like to find something that is written in assembler rather
than C as a high level window implementation does not seem to perform
very well.  I have noticed quite a number of different ones in the
ads in such magazines as Dr. Dobbs but I can't afford to buy each one
to try them out.

If you are using a windowing library with MSC can you please drop me
a note saying what its features are, how well it performs, its ease
of use etc.

If there is sufficient response I will post a summary in due course.
