Can anyone recommend any articles or other resources discussing
object-oriented interface class libraries which allow the software
developer to easily convert the user interface from one style to a
completely different one?

I've recently been studying a simple case of such a system, which
allows the developer to write text-based applications which may be
easily recompiled for either a menu-driven or command-line interface.
The OOP model is useful here.

Is this old hat to those familiar with the field?  I'd appreciate any
correspondence.

Best regards,
Ralph
