| The standard FMSlike interface under C is the curses library.
I haven't used it, so I don't know what it is like, but I did
notice that there seems to be a curses library with my Lattice
C (but I have no idea how complete it is).
Generally Amiga applications use pulldown menus and pop-up menus
instead of FMS style screens. If you are building an Amiga
application that is going to be used by other Amiga types,
your program has a better chance of being accepted if it uses
the standard Amiga user interface methods (menus, etc.).
I have Powerwindows for building Amiga interfaces, and it is a very
quick way to get your menus and windows looking the way you want them.
You still have to understand how the Amiga works in order to build
the code that will run them (though the example they supply is a
very good starting point). It produces code for a number of different
compilers, though the only one I have worked with is Lattice C.
Have fun
Yours
