Abstract
Curl is a programming language for creating web content. It is capable of running under a Linux operating system using X windows for a graphics interface. There are applications of Curl which do not need such a large and complex graphics system as Xwindows. The compact windowing system eliminates much of the unnecessary functionality of X windows while implementing the necessary components. The system makes use of the video hardware using svgalib for Linux. The system also make use of the Freetype TrueType font library to use TrueType fonts for text rendering. This eliminates one incompatibility between the Linux and MS Windows versions of Curl.
