-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]].

 +The UIFC library uses the Synchronet Console I/O Library (CIOLIB).

 +== Windows Terminal ==

 +UIFC apps are often not pretty when run from within Windows Terminal (''wt.exe''). To use the legacy Windows Console Host instead, run ''conhost.exe'' and pass the path and arguments to the UIFC application on the command-line.
