I'm looking for a shareware/PD graphical windowing library for DOS. I know
of only, TEGL, and I would like to know of any others and where I can get a
copy of them. I'm trying to write a program that has a GUI and can't
seem to find a good library to do it with. Since I'm doing this for a
science project, I don't really want to buy the Windows SDK... Any
ideas??? Thanks...

CXL is fine, but it doesn't seem to work in graphical mode - character graphics only. There is also a more recent version in PD1:<MSDOS.TURBO-C>TCXL51.ZIP for those with TC. -- Anders Thulin ath@prosys.se {uunet,mcsun}!sunic!prosys!ath Telesoft Europe AB, Teknikringen 2B, S-583 30 Linkoping, Sweden

On closer scrutiny, it is *not* a TurboC-only version, which I initially thought -- it also contains the MSC and ZTC libraries. I don't know about demo -- it contains full (small model) libraries, documentation and the TCXLDEMO.{EXE,C}. -- Anders Thulin ath@prosys.se {uunet,mcsun}!sunic!prosys!ath Telesoft Europe AB, Teknikringen 2B, S-583 30 Linkoping, Sweden

I can't find all include files - the demo program wants one which wasn't included. Furthermore, the Zortech library file doesn't appear to be complete - I get linking errors for a few routines.

The include file shows up missing because of a typing error in the demo( i assume ). I deleted the package and don't remember the name of the culprit header file but you can get around it by either editing the demo and removing the leading underscore or if your editor won't handle files > 64k by copying the file.h to _file.h. After unzipping, the header files are located in a subdirectory relative to the demo. Although I didn't spend much time with it, the package looks like a very complete text based toolkit with support for windows, menus, ems, mouse, string handling, etc. I don't remember seeing any support for graphics mode.
