	In response to your request for information on a Forms Generator,
the Ada Software Repository on SIMTEL20 contains a Forms Generator in
PD:<ADA.FORMGEN>.  From the abstract: "The forms generator will display
and accept input into a form (in a screen-oriented fashion via the
virtual terminal) in such a way that this mechanism is transparent to the
Ada program using it. ... The system [provides] both an interactive
and batch interface that enables an application programmer to design a
screen format and save the representation in a machine readable form."
	The Forms Generator (FORM2*.*) is one of the WIS/NOSC tools.
Code is over 270,000 bytes, and all files (code and doc) total to over
470,000 bytes.  For the interactive mode, you also need the Virtual
Terminal software in PD:<ADA.VIRTERM>, which is another 224,000+
bytes of software with a total of 927,000+ bytes (sw and doc).
