The MS-DOS version of Janus/Ada contains such a thing (called
"JWindows"). But it has to write directly to the VGA hardware, and thus
was not designed to work with another compiler.

The MS-DOS versions of Janus/Ada are still available (16-bit Ada 83,
32-bit Ada 83 & Ada 95). See www.rrsoftware.com.

(There are different versions of JWindows for Ada 83 and Ada 95; the Ada
95 was the inspriation for Claw.)
