Petit Ami

Peitit-Ami is a graphical toolkit (GTK) for porting programs between operating systems that was written starting in the 1980's. Written before the time of Windows and XWindows, it was extended to those operating systems in a way that didn't require previous programs to be rewritten or thrown out. It does that by using clear, paradigm driven models of device I/O that carry over from one model into a higher level of I/O and abstraction.

Features

Completely free of restrictions. The source is all here and BSD licensed, and completely non-proprietary. You are free to build it into your own source, modify it, sell it, whatever.
Petit-Ami does not *force* you into any particular style of programming. You don't have to use callback events (it is optional), or object orientation (again, optional).
Uses standard I/O. All of the stdio (whitebook) library calls carry over. In fact, most text based programs can simply be recompiled and placed into windows.
Has a series of nested I/O models. Standard text based (serial) programs can run in a terminal model, and those can carry into graphical models, and then windowed models with widgets.
Has sound/midi processing modules, including sound and midi I/O, a built in sequencer, and other features.
Has an extensive networking module, which extends the stdio I/O model, all the way through TLS security and certificates management.
Emphasizes simple and logical paradigms and call models.
Each module of Petit-Ami is independent. You can use only one of them or only a few of them.
Not a "terminal emulator". Each module API level extends the last in a clear and logical way up to the full graphical level.
Designed to be a complete portable API. System services, display, networking and sound are present in the API, and portable to all targets.
