+ STFL is a library which implements a curses-based widget set for text
+ terminals.
+
+ The STFL API can be used from C, SPL, Python, Perl and Ruby. Since the
+ API is only 14 simple function calls big and there are already generic
+ SWIG bindings it is very easy to port STFL to additional scripting
+ languages.
+
+ A special language (the Structured Terminal Forms Language) is used to
+ describe STFL GUIs. The language is designed to be easy and fast to
+ write so an application programmer does not need to spend ages fiddling
+ around with the GUI and can concentrate on the more interesting
+ programming tasks.
