A friend of mine is in a Vermont Company which makes a product called Windows
for C, which is described as follows:

  "Windows for C is an integrated set of ASM and C functions that facilitates
management of the video screen of the IBM PC abd video-compatible computers.
   Windows for C's unique implementation of the window concept simplifies
and enhances programming of screens for all application software.
   Windows for C will allow you to produce more professional screen displays
in less time with less code."

  I saw this demo'd and it looked good. I also looked at the manual, which
was in the style of Unix manuals but more professional. The interface looked
like a pleasant fairly standard Unix library-routine-type set of functions.
They seem to know what they are doing. The product is cheap ($120 for whole
deal, $500 for whole deal with source).

  If  there is any interest, please respond and I will tell you more and/or put
you in touch with them, or you can go straight to them. They are:

  Jake Levison is the name of my friend there. Tell them I sent you, tho' I
won't get anything out of it but gratitude and the knowledge that I am helping
to make it possible for people to do software without living in cities.
