Anyone know of a equivalent command in Solaris to the Linux dialog
command? I am looking at writing a script that would use a list and
allow you to move a highlight bar to make a selection. I've had a look
on OpenSolaris.org to see if one is in development but couldn't find
anything. TIA.

dialog builds/works on Solaris.

I seem to recall that some packagers provide binaries, as well.

Thanks for the prompt reply... made me look a bit further [my wife
would say typical man.. never looks properly the first time ;o) ] and
found it at sunfreeware.com which is where I should have looked the
first time. Ahh well it is Monday morning... well was! ;o)
