    Hi All,

    In windows "msg" only works on the pro version .  Do we
    have some way of popping up messages to the user?

    Many thanks,

I don't have my windows box handy, but I think you could run something like
cmd /c prompt "Here is a message and hit enter to continue"

eg, run "cmd /c" to open a cmd window, and have it run "prompt" to show a prompt in that window.

I was looking for something like "msg", without the networking.
Or Linux's "send-notify".

I find if I pop up a shell at the user, he pops the "X"
in the upper right corner faster than the eye can track.
I  have never had a single user actually read what I
wrote them in a CMD shell.

Thank you for the tip though.


GTK-Simple only works in Linux.  Rats!

I was missing git which zef requires
