There are no equivalents to either the `--hline' or `--hfile' options.

ISSUE: No longer capable of setting string to be displayed at bottom of dialog box (exact opposite of --title). OLD SYNTAX: --hfile file NEW SYNTAX: Not available anymore?! ISSUE: No longer capable of setting a file to be displayed by pressing either ? or F1. OLD SYNTAX: --yesno text height width [yes|no] NEW SYNTAX: --yesno text height width ISSUE: Optional fourth argument to change default selection no longer accepted?! DISCUSS: Without fourth argument to change default selection, is the programmer expected to finagle this by using common-options `--no-label YES' and `--yes-label NO' and change logic to treat NO as YES and vice-versa? OLD SYNTAX: --prgbox command height width NEW SYNTAX: Not available anymore?! ISSUE: No longer capable of displaying output of command in dialog box? DISCUSS: As an alternative, I guess we could output the text to a temporary file and then use --textbox OLD SYNTAX: --ftree file FS text height width menu-height NEW SYNTAX: Not available anymore?! ISSUE: No longer capable of displaying a tree described by the data from `file' (which should contain find(1) output). DISCUSS: There appears to be no analog (this is an informational dialog that takes no user input opposed to --dselect and --fselect which are for taking user input in the new dialog; guess we're just out of luck on these ones). OLD SYNTAX: --tree FS text height width menu-height [ item ] ... NEW SYNTAX: Not available anymore?! ISSUE: No longer capable of displaying a tree described by a series of arguments? DISCUSS: Like --ftree, there appears to be no analog. Don't get me wrong... the new dialog *adds* more options than it takes away (or breaks). However, it's frustrating that backward compatibility is not being retained. On a side-note, I notice that my CentOS 4.7 system is running a dialog that matches syntax exactly with what was imported into RELENG_9 (this is a great thing -- meaning I can write dialog(1) based scripts that are compatible with both Linux and FreeBSD with very little effort). Though I'd still like to see the gaps filled so that we could also run legacy dialog(1) based scripts designed for the [8.x and] older dialog(1). -- Devin -- Bruce Cran _ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidential.

Hi List Members!
I'm proud to announce the first update to my host-setup utility (a

been
made:
- fixed bug where /etc/resolv.conf would be created with 0600 permissions
- fixed bug when switching from one default gateway to NO default gateway
- fixed typo in the title of netmask prompt and ifconfig options dialog
- fixed bug that prevented entry of netmask if no netmask is configured

For those not familiar with my host-setup(1) utility, it is a 2,500+ line
shell
script that utilizes the dialog(1) utility to walk the system administrator
through setting up their TimeZone, Hostname, Network Interfaces, Default
Gateway, and DNS. Our custom FreeBSD installer sets this script as the root
login shell, making it very easy for field engineers to quickly get a system
on
the network without having to use the command-line (and without having to
reboot
either). Underneath the hood - behind the system of prompts and dialogs - this
script manages both the contents of /etc/rc.conf, /etc/resolv.conf, and others
as well as utilizing ifconfig(8), route(8), and many other tools to avoid
requiring a reboot, prompting you if you would like to make the new changes
effective when values are changed from their active settings.

It's working fine for me on FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE i386.
Where you're bombing out is line 2403:
[ $retval -eq 0 ] || die User cancelled.
Functionally, that is testing the return status of dialog(1) for the initial
menu. See if you can execute this (a rough approximation of the initial
menu):
dialog --clear --title foo --hline bar --menu abc 17 55 9 1 a 2 b 3 c 4 d 5
e X x 2 /tmp/dialog.menu.foo
A menu should appear. Select an item and then execute for me:
echo $?
If the above doesn't work, then I suspect that your dialog(1) is not working
properly. I'd then go and try this as a sanity check:
cd /usr/share/examples/dialog
sh menubox
echo $?
The result in both cases (as long as you actually select a menu item) should
be 0.
Also... (just as a sanity check for me) your /bin/sh is not a symlink to
bash is it?

It's almost entirely compatible, but I apologize for the breakage you experienced. The reasons it was replaced it were that it (a) has a better libdialog API, (b) has a better license (LGPL instead of GPL), (c) is maintained, and (d) supports 8-bit character sets.

[UPDATE] host-setup(1): a dialog(1)-based utility for configuring FreeBSD
Hi List Members!
I'm proud to announce the first update to my host-setup utility (a
dialog(1)-based host configurator for FreeBSD). The following changes have been
made:
- fixed bug where /etc/resolv.conf would be created with 0600 permissions
- fixed bug when switching from one default gateway to NO default gateway
- fixed typo in the title of netmask prompt and ifconfig options dialog
- fixed bug that prevented entry of netmask if no netmask is configured
You can get the updated version here:
http://druidbsd.sourceforge.net/download/host-setup.txt
or
http://druidbsd.sourceforge.net/download/host-setup.gz
or
http://druidbsd.sourceforge.net/
For those not familiar with my host-setup(1) utility, it is a 2,500+ line shell
script that utilizes the dialog(1) utility to walk the system administrator
through setting up their TimeZone, Hostname, Network Interfaces, Default
Gateway, and DNS. Our custom FreeBSD installer sets this script as the root
login shell, making it very easy for field engineers to quickly get a system on
the network without having to use the command-line (and without having to reboot
either). Underneath the hood - behind the system of prompts and dialogs - this
script manages both the contents of /etc/rc.conf, /etc/resolv.conf, and others
as well as utilizing ifconfig(8), route(8), and many other tools to avoid
requiring a reboot, prompting you if you would like to make the new changes
effective when values are changed from their active settings.
Here's the patch to show the details:
