How to install Linux Dialog Utility Msgbox to run shell scripts
 
Linux Dialog Utility Msgbox

Hi,
what is a name of a package installing graphical Linux Dialog Utility
to make shell scripts run in semi-graphical environment (early MS DOS) ?

Something like that

Ok. Thanks.
But what I mean is an official port of dialog to Nokia tablet.

http://www.gronmayer.com/it/index.ph...&system=maemo4
My query for dialog in the above respositories failed.

I need one another application for Nokia tablet, generating basic graphics from shell script (like ruby).
I may work as MS Paint but needs to read scripts (Unix shell script).

I'm not sure what you mean by official, but it was simple enough to compile, so I've attached a zipped binary.

Thanks my friend.
I mean official to officially published, published at rep site.

It is not .deb file

Just unzip and run:
unzip dialog.zip
./dialog

or you could copy it to /usr/bin, and just type dialog to run it from anywhere.

My Dear Friend,

thank you very much for my best New-Year's 2008 gift.
It works fine.

By telling about MS Paint like application
I mean basic graphics application reading shell script and drawing lines, circles and more to develop very basic 2D game,
like Ruby does for CADs.

Maybe ImageMagick (http://www.imagemagick.org/) or Gnuplot (http://www.gnuplot.info/)?

There's tons of apps out there that would likely do what you want, but those two quickly came to mind.

Thanks again.
ImageMagick is exactly what I needed.
2D plot.

GnuPlot is 3D, to complicated to me to use.

Any chance for IM port to Nokia ?
