+Xdialog is designed to be a drop in replacement for the "dialog" or "cdialog"
+programs. It converts any terminal based program into a program with an
+X-windows interface. The dialogs are easier to see and use while adding even
+more functionalities (e.g. with the treeview, the file selector, the edit box,
+the range box, the help button/box). Because Xdialog uses GTK+, it will also
+match your desktop theme.
+
+If you wish to have NLS support, pass 'NLS=enable' to the SlackBuild. Xdialog
+is a GTK"1" program but may optionally be compiled against GTK2. The developer
+recommends against this but you may enable it (as I do) with 'GTK2=enable'.
