Using WinSIOUX
Sometimes you need to port a program that was originally written for a command line interface such as DOS or UNIX. Or you need to write a new program quickly and don't have the time to write a complete Graphical User Interface that handles windows, menus, and events.
Compatibility:
This function is compatible with the following targets:
To help you, Metrowerks provides you with the WinSIOUX libraries, which handles all the Graphical User Interface items such as menus, windows, and titles so your program doesn't need to. It creates a window that's much like a dumb terminal or TTY but with scrolling. You can write to it and read from it with the standard C functions and C++ operators, such as printf(), scanf(), getchar(), putchar() and the C++ inserter and extractor operators << and >>. The SIOUX and WinSIOUX libraries also creates a File menu that lets you save and print the contents of the window. There is also an Edit menu that lets you cut, copy, and paste the contents in the window.

NOTE
If you're porting a UNIX or DOS program, you might also need the functions in other UNIX compatibility headers.
