Windows Like Forms

I just finished looking at a nice panel that appears like it's running
windows, however it's really running RomDos.
Nice looking forms and edit boxes, and buttons. Does anyone know of a
package that will do this in Dos? I'm
using BP7.

I found the information. They are running Dos GL/4W which I take is a 32
bit extender for Watcom C so that's not going to help me anyway. Someone
replied with a graphix package that looks pretty nice so I'll give it a try.

Someone is working on a Free Pascal port based on the watcom tools
(assembler, linker). I assume that means it will link to Watcom C too. (but
_not_ to C++). FPC is fairly BP compatible, but of course 16-bit'isms have
to be fixed for any 32-bit compiler.

So if you really need it, there is a way :-)
