Hi,
does anybody know of Lisp code that
allows to display a user interface
using normal terminald (VT100 and above)?
Input fields, masks, dialogs, ...?
Greetings,

The lisp implementation 'clisp' comes with stdwin , which allows some vt100
manipulation stuff when linked with termcap instead of X lib. (stdwin is
better known in connection with python , because they come from the same
working group.)
The scheme implementation 'scm' comes with a curses module, which of course
would allow to implement dialogs et al.
I'm about writing some vt100 widget set for Guile, another scheme implemen-
tation, based on ncurses and maybe either cdialog, cdk or libXterminal.
In all Lisp implementations that come with a decent C interface there is a way
to implement something in that direction, just not a standard.
Or is the question to do all that without interfacing system libraries written
in C?

A related question.
There used to be a scheme-Tk, didn't there? Is there a set of Tk bindings
for Common Lisp?

CL-HTTP + Linx? ;-)
