Lately, I have found myself writing code in Turbo Pascal that creates windows
scrolling displays and graphics stuff for the IBM-PC.  However much I may like
my routines, I know that such things as overlapping windows won't work with
them without handling the exceptions for bringing a window to the front etc.
I have been thinking about how to program my own set of menus and interaction
with the keyboard, but I am realizing this will take a lot of time.  

Question: Does there exists a Public domain package (Turbo Pascal Unit) that
	  handles windowing and menus and keyboard interfaces?  I am interested
	  in having the source code available also.

I know that Microsoft windows and Desqview and bookoo other libraries exist
for programmer's to use, but I don't have the $$ to buy them.  I also have not
been following comp.sources.ibm.pc so I don't know if such a thing has been
posted.  Well, just a thought, please don't start up a flame war over Windows
Desqview and the like.  If you have something, Please let me know how to get
to it.
Thanks,
Bill Murphy
