I should have been more specific. I know these things can be handled very
well in X, but I was looking for writing programs outside X, hoping for
more speed. The library "vgalib" seems to be good for graphics. But mouse
handling seems to be a specialists work. About text mode line/box drawing
extended characters, I think it's possible, (through curses ?).
I don't have a good software background, but, have to write a lot of
engineering stuff. I was hoping to add graphics and improve the get up of
the programs, without concentrating too much on them.
As for why linux/UNIX, I say, what's the alternative?
