box.exe (c) Pedago Ab & Anders Gustafsson

Creates an attention-getting messagebox from the login-script.

Usage:

Copy the executable into sys:public or other suitable directory in the path and
add the following line to the loginscript:

#box 65;Greetings!;Lovely day - Spring in the air!

This will stop script execution and put up a dialogbox with the caption "Greetings!"
and a text of "Lovely day - Spring in the air!". The style is a regular box with an
asterix and two buttons OK and Cancel.

If you want to break the line on the third argument you kan use the vertical bar to do so,
ie:

#box 65;Greetings!;Lovely day - Spring in the air!|Why should I?

The first argument is simply a combination of the values below and the returncode,
something you can check in the script by using ERROR_LEVEL, is what you click to
get out of the box.

For example 0x30+0x01 = 65d will give you a box with an exclamation mark and two
buttons: Yes and No. If you click Yes the program will return 6. If you click No
it will return 7.

As usual I take no resposiblility for what you do with this program. Comments are welcome,
adress them to dalton@pedago.fi.
