Trestle is a collection of interfaces structured around a central abstract type: a ``virtual bitmap terminal'' or VBT, which represents a share of the workstation's screen, keyboard, and mouse---a thing comparable to the viewers, windows, or widgets of other systems.
Trestle includes a fairly standard set of interactors, including menus, buttons, ``container'' classes that provide overlapping or tiled subwindows, and ``leaf'' windows that display text or other data.
Trestle provides a novel strategy for writing applications that are independent of the type of display screen they are running on.
