SYNOPSIS

Though similar in style to CDK, it is different, being a script-interpreter which provides a set of curses widgets. Widgets are objects whose appearance and behavior can be customized. There is a much-reduced variation of dialog, called lxdialog, which is used in Linux kernel configuration.

HISTORY

DIALOG was written by Savio Lam <lam836@cs.cuhk.hk> and modified by several people.

Initially, I made fixes and reviewed the code to ensure that problems reported were not related to ncurses. After that, I resumed development, adding new widget types. See the changelog for details.
