The library is /usr/lib/libdialog.*. The only documentation I'm aware is in the source code (/usr/src/gnu/lib/libdialog/) where the readme states: This library was split out from the `dialog' program for use in C programs. For a list of interface functions, see dialog.h. For usage examples, see the `dialog' program sources in /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/dialog. You can additionally use any ncurses functions after init_dialog(). Remember, this isn't a tight commercial operation that carefully guards its jewels (which sometimes turn out indiscript hunks of granite). Everything is out in the open for all to see! If you want gory details about using the library, I'd suggest bothering Jordan (jkh@freebsd.org). -john == jfieber@indiana.edu =========================================== == http://fieber-john.campusview.indiana.edu/~jfieber ============
