(Update and revision package)

The  Window   BOSS   is   one   of   the  most  powerful  and
cost-effective products available to enhance  and  accelerate
the  development  of  system and applications programs in the
"C" language.  The BOSS will let  you  create  programs  that
have  the same look and feel as top sellers like Lotus 1-2-3,
Sidekick, dBASE III, and  Framework!   Pop-up  windows,  pull
down  menus,  status  lines,  and  in  context  on- line help
functions can be easily implemented.  Your  applications  can
drag  windows  around  the screen and automatically sense the
type of video card installed.   All  of  this  without  snow,
flicker, or delay!

The BOSS's  assistant,  The  Data Clerk, is always on call to
handle the tasks associated with data entry.  The Data  Clerk
makes  it  a  snap  to  enter  text, integers, floats, longs,
dates, phone numbers, and  times.   It  is  equally  easy  to
create  complex  forms  with  individual field help and error
messages.   Custom  fields  and  masks  are  also   a   snap!
Naturally,  we  concentrated  on  the  programmer  interface,
keeping it clean, uncluttered, powerful, fast,  and  easy  to
remember.

Our Mouse  routines  provide the icing on the cake!  Once the
mouse has been initialized, you can show it,  hide  it,  move
it,  check  to see if any of its buttons have been pressed or
released, make it emulate a light pen, put an invisible  cage
around it, define it shape and associated attributes, and ask
it how many buttons it has!

Tim Parker's  column  in  the  February  87 issue of Computer
Language stated "the ease of use will cause some  programmers
to  go  overboard with windows", and "if you are a die-hard C
programmer looking for a useful, license-free  product,  this
is it".

Hardin Bothers'  column  in  the June 88 issue of PC Resource
stated "Within its domain, The Window BOSS is as  useful  and
as  powerful  as  any C library I've used".  "The Window BOSS
owes much of  its  power  to  its  uncluttered  organization.
Although the product supports five C Compilers - Microsoft C,
Lattice  C, Borland's Turbo C, Computer Innovations CI86, and
Datalight C - it does it with a minmum of fuss." Post  review
note  from  the author - The BOSS now also supports Mix Power
C, Aztec C, Zortech, and Watcom C!!

In 1989 The Window BOSS achived  membership  in  the  TOP  50
Shareware  Programs offerd by PC-SIG!!  (Shareware Magazine -
