first of all, please don't double post, you wont get a faster responce that way...

now on to your answer, the simple answer is there isn't one. All GUI systems at the OS level are going to be strongly tied to the API your OS implements, there is not canned GUI system where you just fill in the blanks and you have windows

So unfortunately, as far as I know, the cut & paste technique won't work here. Do some research and write a GUI system (I would advice starting with a functional console though, much easier to debug)

as the GUI interacts more or less with hardware (mouse and video accesses, for instance), it cannot be 100% hardware-independent ... or it is actually dependent of an Hardware Abstraction Layer that you'll have to mimmic in your OS.

What are you exactly looking for ? a widget toolkit ? a drawing library ? a user-events delivery engine ? ... A GUI is all that ! ...

I would suggest you to google for a GUI atop of SDL or Allegro, and then try to offer an Allegro-equivalent service in your OS so that you can port the GUI on it.

i may be missing some link, but all i could found there is "GUI.EXE" and "README.TXT" ... I hardly see how it could get someone started ?...
