Well in that sense, oZone and SEAL share a problem for non-programmers: They make nice looking GUIs but there is not much software for them. On the other hand, you could develop your software using a common portable GUI TOOLKIT, so the software runs not only in DOS but also in other GUI environments for which already a lot of other software exists to enjoy. Maybe you want to have a look at Georg's FLTK tutorial here: http://nanox-microwindows-nxlib-fltk-for-dos.googlecode.com/files/FLTK-Tutorial.pdf Here are some screenshots: http://code.google.com/p/nanox-microwindows-nxlib-fltk-for-dos/wiki/Screenshots Georg ported FLTK to DOS after porting a small X library to DOS, which in turn allowed him to port useful software such as the web browser Dillo to DOS, but also to write new software with FLTK- based GUIs from scratch :-) Eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For Developers, A Lot Can Happen In A Second.
