We have a PC application that requires the display of various graphics
(scroll charts & meters) and text (event traces).  It has lots of options,
so we want some kind of menu interface.

We use Turbo C, which has the primitives to do a lot of this, but I'd
prefer to spend our development time on something besides the user
interface.

What we are looking for is a PC-based window system that supports text and
graphics simultaneously.  It should include scrolling within a text window.
We'd also like that in the graphics window.  There ought to be some hooks
for menus and window resizing.  The data being displayed is collected in
real time by interrupt handlers, so the window system can't disable or
usurp interrupts too much.

Anyone know of such a beast?  Does anyone know much about Magna Carta's C
Windows toolkit.
