Morello GUI can be used (no surces). But if you will spend some
months on it (and I guess you'll need some time to make it if that's
a "free time project") I think the best bet is to use Allegro plus
some package, for example: DEGUI, in this way you won't need to
reinvent a GUI. There are a lot of GUI for Allegro, all seems to be
incomplet but they work. With Allegro you have: DOS, Win32, Linux
console and X11 targets. Some of them are WIP but I think they will
be very stable in some months. I think your needs for a GUI aren't so
huge, just a window no? or are you planing to write a program that
will run in an X Window with propietary windows inside? Now if you
are looking for a way to write a program that will use *native* GUI
in X and Windows perhaps you could take a look to V (you can use
MingWin + V for Win32 target).
