I've been tinkering with PC-XINU for some time now. An interesting project would be to expand the windowing routines outlined in the PC edition book. Support for overlapping windows, large virtual screen, mouse support, widget sets (buttons, menu bars, pull down menus, editable fields, scrollable views, scroll bars, etc...) would make a nice interface. Kept character-based, windowing operations would be lightning fast (and easier to implement.) Does such a thing already exist? Comments, anyone?

That sounds interesting. If you can use pc characters set also, it can be really nice. (something like Turbo C IDE (NEW) ) Wait till I buy the PC version of XINU, I maybe interested in trying something like that. So far I only have programmed some XINU stuff on a point of sales terminal. Can anyone tell me the cheapest place to buy XINU for PC? Mail order company? thanks -Bruce
