Description: I'm looking for way to design a text user interface with things such as menus (not nessacrily dropdown), windows, etc. I've attempted to install Curses, but it refuses to compile on my FreeBSD system and seems a little dated.. Any suggestions? Answer: User Interface with menus/fill in the blanks

| Answer: User Interface with menus/fill in the blanks
contributed by c0d34w4y
I wrote up a bunch of code that implements drop down
menus with shadows + dialog windows and other
GUI stuff for PASCAL (DOS mode) using a bit
of Assembly code for core display functionality.
The GUI may also be initialized from special
configuration files (say, something similar
to Visual C++ Project resource files) describing
various menu features/layout/content.
All this is OOP so implementing in one's code
should be a rather trivial task.
I'm not sure how that could be ported to anything
actually... except if I modified (slightly)
those Pascal libraries so that they could be
used from within a C/C++ code. This, than, could
be somehow incorporated with Perl to get the
desired result.
catch me in the monastery if you
wish to talk more about this.
