I need more than CVV/AVV:

I'm looking for a piece of LISPM functionality that I'm sure someone out
there has done (and is willing to make it available to others).  I need a
forms entry package, something with the following characteristics:
1) Some way of generating an image of a form to fill out (eg, bitmap,
simple drawing language (maybe similar to constraint frame specs)).
2) A way to specify the size and location of the fields in which the user
will input data (incl data types).
3) Validation of the input data.

Basically, I'm looking for a super-CVV facility.  My immediate need is for
this to run on the TI Explorer, but I could make do with an old Symbolics
version (as long as it isn't presentation-based (which is the obvious way
of doing this in Genera)).  Anybody have anything like this?
