Text user interface - TUI under Unix-like systems
The advent of the curses library with Berkeley Unix created a portable and stable API for which to write TUIs. The ability to talk to various terminal types using the same interfaces led to more widespread use of "visual" Unix programs, which occupied the entire terminal screen instead of using a simple line interface. This can be seen in text editors like vi, mail clients like pine, and web browsers like lynx or w3m.
In addition, the rise in popularity of Linux brought many former MS-DOS users to a Unix-like platform, which has fostered an MS-DOS influence in many TUIs. The program minicom, for example, is modeled after the popular MS-DOS program Telix.
