Well.. I use a thing called "Curses::Widgets".. It's a perl module that
works with "Curses".. and provides some nice widgets for doing
text based stuff..
Theres been some recient new stuff.. like a Curses::Forms for building
forms for data entry and some such.. One of my projects is to build a
screen builder.. generic database screen stuff.. so it can work much like
some modern 3GL/4GL's that are out there..
Eg/ You can setup a screen with widgets.. some of them linkted directly
to database tables.. some with "code" attached to do things..
Kinda like what VB does.. but in text..
