+# Think twice (or more) before upgrading this - the latest versions completely
+# destroy the careful formatting in the Slackware installer. While it's lost
+# to history now for the most part, I was the original beta tester for dialog,
+# which was created to support our installer. I even wrote the --infobox widget
+# before the first release. While I appreciate the advances dialog has made in
+# the years since then, I'm nnot about to quickly shoot myself in the foot again
+# (think tar-1.13 ;-). If you are reading this and think that Slackware "needs"
+# to have the latest dialog, I'm willing to listen to your rationale. However,
+# unless it's been tested with the installer and every other script in Slackware
+# that uses dialog and found to work, and you've already gotten any needed
+# patches accepted upstream... well... I like this version. If it's got bugs,
+# they aren't bugs that I'm running into often.
