Hi all:

Absolute know-nothing newbie here; please pardon my ignorance of  
everything.

I’m looking to write a database interface that will run on any platform  
in a  
character-based terminal emulator environment. What is the best  
resource  
library/toolkit/whatchamacallit for the interface? I want maximum  
flexibility as far as looks and functionality so I can get it just the  
way I  
wan it.

Thanks,  
Kenquad
