I need a character-based, X-like environment. Specifically, I need something that approximates Xt and widgets, for character-based terminals. Preferably portable, using curses, or at least terminfo/termcap. No graphics, just text. It doesn't necessarily have to support a client/server modle, but could be a simple library. It should include at least basic widgets (label, command, etc) and be easily extensible. Yes, I realize it would be very limited compared to X. So what? Is there anything like this out there? -Miles O'Neal emory!rsiatl!meo

What you want is STDWIN.

Some day, I'll get to simplifying the installation process.) To get a complete implementation for any one target system, retrieve the indicated files (don't forget to set binary mode in ftp) into a freshly created directory. Every file retrieved should be run through uncompress and tar, as follows: uncompress <MAIN.tar.Z | tar xf - Every archive file extracts files into a single subdirectory, named after the archive's basename, except MAIN.tar.Z, which extracts files into the current directory. Then follow the steps of configuration and compilation mentioned in the file INSTALL. Some test programs are found in the subdirectory test (although not all programs there make sense for the termcap version). A more elaborate test program is miniedit, which implements a simple multi-window text editor. It is possible to build the TERMCAP and X11 versions in the same directory.
