There is a class of applications or tools which provide user
interfaces in a similar way to EasyGui. For example, the Red Hat Linux
text-based installation and administration tools lead users through
sequences where users are prompted for information through text boxes,
lists and dialogues. It seems to me that by implementing other display
mechanisms, you would be able to cover such applications, provide
alternative display options for them, and be some kind of
"anygui-light".
