cdialog allows you to present a variety of questions or display messages using dialog boxes from a shell script.

Starting point for cdialog v.0.9a was dialog-0.6c. Many new features like as Resolution-independence, Auto-sizing, Maximizing, more widget on the same screen (multi-widget), etc. were added. New widget are tailbox and tailbox-in-background. Here are the options:
Usage: dialog
{ --and-widget }

At the moment, mouse support with libgpm can't be added because it does't implement the wtimeout() function of ncurses. Wtimeout() is needed to have more widgets (es.tailbox) cooperating on the same screen... I don't know if with newer versions of libgpm will be possible

What's New in This Release:
fix logic in split-out dlg_menu() to separate inputmenu and menu handling (report by Auke Kok).
