In most issues of Unix Review and Unix World is an add from a company
called Byte Designs. They sell a C-Isam package (that we have) and a
package they call W that is a windowing library "makes curses
obsolete" according to their add (that we don't have). $300 gets you
the source. 

We've been using a package from The Oakland Group called C-scape. Also
advertised in the above mentioned rags. We've been using this on Qnx
and ms-dos, and have it ordered for unix. It is quite nice. No
royalties. Cost for unix is about $1000.00.

There are others.
