- I have used Mewel, a text-based windowing library which works pretty
- well, for a non-trivial application. It emulates as much of the Windows
- API as makes sense under text-mode. However, if you're not interested in
- trying for single-source tree for your application code to compile under
- both Windows and DOS, Mewel probably has a higher overhead in terms of
- speed and memory footprint than is desirable.
-
- There are a large number of others... a new one recently came out which
- also provides Windows API support. This question needs to be put into
- the FAQ.
