      </item>

        <title><cmd>--font</cmd>=<var>FONT</var></title>
	<p>Specifies the text font.</p>
      </item>

      </item>

      </item>

    </terms>

<code>
#!/bin/sh

# You must place file "COPYING" in same folder of this script.
FILE=`dirname $0`/COPYING

zenity --text-info \
       --title="License" \
       --filename=$FILE \
       --checkbox="I read and accept the terms."

case $? in
    0)
        echo "Start installation!"
	# next step
	;;
    1)
        echo "Stop installation!"
	;;
    -1)
        echo "An unexpected error has occurred."
	;;
