Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Basically, what is the text library used with sysinstall and the pkg_* utils? I was under the impression it was 'dialog', but 'dialog' is rather restricted... My reason for asking is a have a rather robust library for adding/removing/updating users, as well as editing the groups file, shells file and other similar functions--I was thinking of putting it into a windowed interface like the other FreeBSD utils, but 'dialog' is greatly lacking some of the features seen in the above mentioned utils. -Brandon Gillespie
