About Text-based Front-ends

["Soumava Das" <soumava@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Everybody,
	I am trying to create a text-based front-end for a database (Postgresql) 
program. The front end should have forms, menus, etc. 
	I am thinking of creating the front-end using ncurses. But, would like to 
know if there are any better options. ( The front-end should be usable even on 
DOS ).
	I have seen full screen text-based front-ends for databases ( they use 
one at British Council Library, UTI Bank, ....) but don't have any idea how 
they are created ( using curses ?).
	Any help in this regard ( as also about ncurses programming ) will be 
highly helpful.
	Thanks anyway.
