TUI (text user interface) I find it interesting that everyone is using TUI when I've always seen CUI (Character User Interface). I come from a DOS and Windows background, and it seems like TUI comes from the *nix world. And Notepad was not the only option for Windows devs. Dr Dobbs and other tech magazines used to have ads for a variety of editors. And linkers, which were the bane of 80s programmers' lives. There was a whole era of programmer-oriented software that seems to have been largely forgotten. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

My understanding is that CUI includes both TUI and CLI, and refers to the interface of a text-mode screen (as opposed to a graphical screen — a GUI), where you can use both CLI commands and TUI programs. So, technically, if you’re using a TUI in a graphical terminal window within a GUI, you’re strictly speaking not in a CUI, but are emulating a CUI within a GUI. And the CLIs and TUIs are running within that CUI. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
