TUI Dialogs

[Joe Caverly]

Using the Windows port of the dialog program, available from http://andrear.altervista.org/home/cdialog.php, you can create simple TUI screens. For example;

dialog.exe --textbox dialog.btm 22 70

will allow you to view a file, with the ability to scroll and search the file;

dialog --calendar "Select a date" 3 36 %_day %_month %_year

Source code for dialog is available from http://andrear.altervista.org/contents/pc/dialog/dialog-hammered-for-mingw.tar.gz
