[PLUG] ncurses windowing/widget kits?

["Kyle R . Burton" <mortis@voicenet.com>]

Dear Plug,

I'm looking at developing some software for which I'd like to have both an X11
interface, as well as a console (curses) based interface available.  If
possible, I'd like to have an abstraction between the two so the bulk of the
application can be written to the abstraction and the actual interface switched
between at runtime (via a cmdline switch).  At worst, I'll put up with a
single core codebase and 2 GUI wrapper applications on top of the core
functionality.

After looking briefly into the ncurses documentation, and doing a quick
search I found the Curses Development Kit:

  http://dickey.his.com/cdk/cdk.html

It comes with some good examples, and would probably do most of what I
think I see the application needing.

Does anyone know of any actual windowing style systems for terminals or for
ncurses?  Something that provides more of an MDI style interface?

The application isn't all that far off of a spreadsheet style application
for viewing tables of data.


Thanks in advance,

Kyle R. Burton
