I have an immediate need to use a windows package (public domain or otherwise) capable of handling character-based windows on a vanilla terminal connected to a UNIX-based (4.3 Berkley) VAX. Furthermore, I need to a system callable from C programs. Would some kind soul shed some light as to what is currently available? Thanks in advance, Gary Letourneau garl@mcs.nlm.nih.gov

Try 'curses'. It comes with most UNIX systems. It uses 'termcap' or 'terminfo' to determine how the terminal-based windows are displayed and manipulated. It's pretty complete...
