I have written some routines for menus+windows+input-boxes 
on top of the 'curses' routines. The obvious advantage is that
programs using these can be run on Unix as well (which I need).
The sources ('tuidemo') are included with PDCurses 2.1 (see below).

A well-known "free" DOS based GUI is DFLAT.
It is available on SIMTEL.
I don't know if anyone has ported it to DJGPP.

A commercial package is MEWEL from MAGMA. 
This library uses the Windows API.  A DJGPP version is available.

===============================================================================
The latest PDCurses version is 2.1 and can be obtained from:

  site:  ftp.gu.edu.au    132.234.1.1
  files: /src/PDCurses/pdcurs21.zip

To compile the whole library with your C compiler, you'll need a copy
of DMAKE as well, which can be obtained from:

  site: plg.uwaterloo.ca (129.97.140.10)
  file: pub/dmake/dmake38-msdos-exe.zip

I use the package with the DOS port of gcc ('DJGPP 1.11m5').
I have also versions running using Turbo C 3.0 and MSC 6.0.
