It should give you a good starting point for a portable TUI you're looking for. I have compiled (and used) both PDCurses and TUIDEMO with Turbo C in the past. The resulting Turbo C library can be used with Borland C as well. Mark Hessling (maintainer of PDCurses) has a Borland version of PDCurses too. Take a look at: http://www.gu.edu.au/gwis/the/markh.html for more info. (The Borland version can be found at ftp://ftp.qut.edu.au/src/PDCurses/pdcbcc22.zip) Pieter.
