Sounds to me like you want Allegro or SDL.  Both exist
in the archives and I believe I read a few days ago
that EuAllegro has a new maintainer.

But ck is right, if you want to write GUI apps,
(buttons, text boxes, tabs, etc) you should consider
wxEuphoria.

Here watch this...

According to
http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp

90% of web surfers are using windows.  Ok... that's a
huge number.  I'm going to guess that if you add up
all the home computers in the US + all the office
computers in the US and include all the laptops in the
US, you might be looking at a number like 1 billion. 
10% of those computers are NOT running windows.  So,
that's about 100,000,000 computers (or potential
customers)in the US not using windows.  Now multiply
that number by 5 for England, Germany, Japan, China,
Korea, and other industrial countries and you can see
that number jump to 500,000,000 quickly.  I might be
_under_ guessing the exact number of non windows
computers world wide.

So while you are developing software for an already
saturated windows market, consider how many potential
customers (at least 1/2 Billion) you could have if you
had just tried to use the free, open source, and
easier to use, programming tool, wxEuphoris.
