I'm curious; I've been seeing dialogs in the various scripts and
programs that debian uses for configurations and installations and the
like. Does anyone know what curses based dialog system is being used?
I can't seem to figure that out. Some other distros, like Slackware,
use 'dialog' but from what I see Debian doesn't use that one. I think
they are using something burried down in debconf but I haven't been
able to dig that out. I'm wondering because I would like to use it
for my program development purposes. I find the dialogs that are
generated to be quite accessible with Speakup and cursor tracking
seems to be quite good. With dialog on the other hand, I have some
considerable problems with cursor placement while using speakup.
Any further ideas? Thanks a lot.
