Re: Language C - Console-based FrontEnd

Hi Again,

We are working in a big project. Then we have to have the following:

. A huge database;
. A text-based interface to be acessed all around the company. There will
  be a lot of diskless stations (X11 not supported), a lot, to make the
  job easier (The idea is: 'There is a machine near you, always');
. A graphic interface (in planning), wrote in Tcl/tk, Kylix or any graphic
  language (to be defined), to be accessed by administrative depths.
. A web interface, to external persons have access to statistic data.

So, I have a single database and three interfaces. Each one to each type
of depth.

I think it is a good idea. And I have to program the console-based
interface soon. I would like to tell someone who have already used C,
curses and ncurses to program this type of interface.

Thanks in advance,

See ya,
