A TUI, or text user interface, is a user interface that takes some elements of GUIs and places them in a character-cell environment (as opposed to an APA (all points addressable) environment). Applications that use a TUI are very useful for *N?X users who don't want to spend lots of RAM on the X window system. TUI toolkits:

• curses
• s-lang
• Borland's Turbo Vision
• etc. /msg me if you know of more.

Popular applications using TUIs:

• Linuxconf from the console (curses)
• Linux kernel's "make menuconfig" option (curses)
• RHIDE, a GCC-oriented IDE for DOS and Linux, using conio
• Emacs, the one true editor for *N?X (without X) and DOS, (apparently) using curses
• Jed, using S-Lang
