Transkel, Transdisplay, Transedit, are packages of C routines to automatically
do almost everything that needs to be done in most programs.  (Windows, DAs
scroll bars, etc.)

Trans* are written by Paul Dubois of U. Of Wisconsin (sp?) at Madison.  It is
public domain, (not shareware, not even unlimited distribution copyright)
and available on Sumex.  After never using it before, it took me less than
three hours to write a program with windows and menus.

There also exists a version for Pascal, also on sumex.
