Hello cygwinners,
we all know and like dialog -
>Dialog is a utility to create nice user interfaces to shell scripts, or other scripting languages,
>such as perl. It is non-graphical (it uses curses) so it can be run in the console or an xterm.

latest version: ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/dialog/
It compiles on cygwin with some warnings - but without errors.
If i try the samples, there seem to be some problems with "infobox"...don`t need that currently,
but it would be interesting why it doesn`t work.
There is just one issue: I had to fiddle around a long time to get linedraw characters
getting displayed well. (it looked very ugly)
In the end, there is an easy solution:
just put
"set CYGWIN=codepage:oem"
into your cygwin.bat - and all looks fine.
regards
Roland
