- UI (User Interface) is a user interface library for UNIX and XENIX systems. It
- is built on top of the curses library. It allows the programmer to easily
- define menus, data entry forms, and scrolling forms. UI provides simple access
- to attributes, colors, and other features of the display. UI is designed to
- support a variety of languages, including those that are written from right to
- left
-
- UI facilitates combining custom code with a standard screen interface. Default
- values, data verification and transaction processing code can easily be
- integrated into screens. UI provides a number of features that simplify the
- task of data entry. Help messages can be provided for all menus, choices, forms
- and fields. Fields can be entered using a point-and-pick mechanism from tables
- that are either predefined or calculated at run time
-
- In the future, UI will support the X Windows System (currently it can operate
- in xterm windows) and will handle mouse input and will be capable of displaying
- bit-mapped graphics. UIL (User Interface Language) is a preprocessor for
- programs using the UI library. It allows menus and forms to be specified in a
- C-like syntax that is easier to code and to understand than the more detailed
- constructors used by UI. UIED (User Interface Edit - forthcoming) is a
- graphical editor for UI programs. It will run with the X Windows System and
- will simplify the development of UI menus and screens.
