What is libgringo ?
-------------------

libgringo is a library to write apps that runs both in console (CUI mode)
and in X-Window (GUI mode). To do that libgringo uses 'ncurses' fro console
I/O and 'gtk' to build X-Window apps. You are free to add support for 
other libraries like slang, xform, libQt or Motif in respect of the license
of this software.



What libgringo provides ?
-------------------------

libgringo provides you the following widgets and their events:
    - window
    - label
    - button
    - edit box
    - checkboxe
    - grid
    - listbox



What is libgringo suitable for ?
--------------------------------

libgringo was written in order to make some configuration scripts
to work both in console and under X-Window without any modification.
Infact libgringo main goal is to be used by 'gringosh' BTW gringosh
is suitable only for easy application based on a single window.
Writeing your apps directly in C you can develop powerfull and easy
applications.

And last but not least to deprecate the ?uck?ng 'dialog' package.
