 FWIW, I've used Al Stevens' (columnist for Dr Dobbs Journal) SAA compatible
DFLAT library to create a nice looking user interface for a project at work
once. It was pretty easy. There's a dflat386.zip on SimTel and dflat19.zip
should be somewhere on ftp.mv.com.
 Maybe this is worth a look / try .....

 Troublespots:
1. The original dflat worked for DOS / Intel only. Dunno how easy it is to
   get it more generic.
2. License, copyright issues ?
3. "ascii screen descriptions": screen descriptions are in .h files that
   are included in the source.

 Oh well, just a couple of thoughts.
