linux menu?

[Tyler Littlefield]

Hay,
I am looking for a library that will enable me to create a menu in linux.
Anyone know where this is?
Thanks,

I have a menu for linux text mode. I will make sure of the procedure to 
release it as it was done in work time for my job.
It requires tcl to be installed.  You can also look at the dialog package.
Under debian:
apt-get install dialog

If you want a really simple type menu, see the select command within the
bash documentation.  This would yield a "BBS style" prompt.  Also like
was said below, the dialog command or dialog "set of commands" is quite
good and is also used in shell scripts.  I know for sure that
Slackware's setup procedure and packagment is all done with dialog and
doesn't look half bad.  I'm also looking at Curses::UI for perl so my
perl scripts can take on a prettier look:).

Tyler, if your a C programmer there is a menuing library called  libmenu. 
If you are using curses you would need -lmenu -lncurses when you are doing 
a compile.

Re: linux menu?

[Tyler Littlefield]

ok, I have done apt-cache search curses, and not found anything.. I think 
something is wrong with my aptitude, because I couldn't also find 
tofrodos.and I did apt-get update, and still nothing... any ideas?
Thanks,
