Anyone care to make a recommendation? Where can I find it? 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.) Randy Brukardt. >Ashley > >
