A company called Magma Software Systems has a product called MEWEL. I think MEWEL stands for Message passing Extensible Windowing and Event Library. They advertise in _Computer Language_ and _Dr. Dobb's_. The Programmer's Shop sales it for $139. The Programmer's Shop ad says the following: A message-passing text-mode clone of Microsoft WIndows ( without pre-emptive multi-tasking). MEWEL supports all of the windowing features of Windows, to the point of having the same function and constant names. Code will port to Windows with almost no changes. The supported features include all types of Windows, list boxes, dialog boxes, scrollbars, push buttons, checkboxrs, edit fiedls, and more. The mouse is also fully supported. Austin Code works also sales MEWEL. Now this is a text mode clone, but I do not know if it would work on a termiinal (i.e. over the serial port). -----Dale Rogerson-----
