I have been using Turbo C Tools from Blaise Computing for the last
2 years but recently programs which have been stable have started
crashing and acting strangely. I strongly suspect that this is
connected to the fact that we upgraded to DOS 5.0 and Novell 3.11 recently
and therefore I tried to call Blaise Computing for an update of the package.
Strangely enough there is no one answering the phone and when I looked
through BYTE adverts for the last year I noticed that Blaise Computing
hasn't run an advert for a long time.

  Is Blaise Computing gone out of business  ?
  If so can someone suggest a good C library which I can use instead
  of Turbo C Tools ?  What I need is a library which can handle normal
  text output, scroll areas of the screen (instead of the whole screen),
  has decent windowing functions and good keyboard drivers. I have read
  about Greenleafs Super functions and Greenleafs Data Windows.  Has
  someone used those ?

Please e-answer by e-mail because I suspect that most people are not
interested in reading about text libraries (instead of GUI libraries) and
C (instead of something with the word "object" in it).

Thanks
  Steinthor
