We use Michael Egger "aalert" on OSX and would like to have it also on Window. Has this external been ported on Windows or is there anything else available to display a Dialog box with configurable messages and buttons?

I did something similar for the Get Info... (info) message to Litter Power objects. The port to Windows was not bad at all.

I'm not offering to take this on, but I would be willing to share the relevant code with anyone wanting to do the port. Send me mail offlist.

Further to my previous message: looking at code I've written, the Windows API for Alerts/Message Boxes is pretty simple. There is a function MessageBox() that is very much the Mac Toolbox Alert(). On windows you feed it strings rather than reading in data from a Classic Mac Resource. So more like the AppleScript Display Dialog message.

(Please don't write to me a year from now for further details. I'm posting this here so I can blithely forget this trivia and get on with more interesting things.-)
