-UIFC (User InterFaCe) is the text mode full-screen user interface library used by [[util:SCFG]], [[util:echocfg]], and others.  It was originally inspired by the text mode user interface for NetWare 2.x server management utilities for DOS (e.g. [[http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/Cc751416.w9p9774g_big(l=en-us).gif|SYSCON]]), and was written from scratch by [[person:Digital Man]].+UIFC (User InterFaCe) is the text mode full-screen user interface library used by [[util:SCFG]], [[util:echocfg]], and others.  It was originally inspired by the text mode user interface for NetWare 2.x server management utilities for DOS (e.g. [[https://www.zx.net.nz/netware/client/syscon-375/|SYSCON]]), and was written from scratch by [[person:Digital Man]].
