Why don't use the ALEX? 
ALEX is an application-independent GUI language. It's purpose is to
translate character-based programs into Motif/OpenLook
applications. To do this, you do not need to change the original
source files (you do not need to HAVE original source files at all).
For more informations I think you can contact the SYSTEM STRATEGIES LIMITED
directly:

	Technical Contact:            Lisa Rowlands

                	              Fax:    +44 81 566 2308

I hope this help you.
Ciao,
