GNUe forms (www.gnuenterprise.org) might fit your needs. Using the designer tool or your favorite text editor you can create data aware UIs very rapidly. It supports a trigger system that lets you tie events to user actions. It supports win32 and *nix GUIs. A curses based UI is included but currently broken. The UI system is driver based so it's fairly easy to add additional front end drivers to the system. A cleanup of the UI code has been started and one of it's goals is to bring curses support back up to par with our GUI support. A web client is also in the works, you can see a demo of it in it's early stages here http://www.gnuenterprise.org/~jan/gfc.php?c=blockto&a=block1 However I don't think it'd work in lynx. :( We do support a large number of database interfaces inlcuding MySQL. Over 15 drivers are supported (we're looking for testers) and you can mix and match databases on the same form and create master/detail relationships between such datasources. Currently most our testing is done on Postgresql, MySQL, Oracle, DB2, ODBC. It's couterpart GNUe Designer will let you create basic data entry forms in seconds (for the database systems that we've obtained schema inspection information on) via a form creation wizard. Though it is a part of GNUe, GNUe Forms and Designer do not lock you in to GNUe solutions. All our tools are designed to work outside the GNUe system. Please feel free to contact me or stop by our IRC channel #gnuenterprise at irc.openprojects.net if you'd like more info or help in testing it out.
