Now you should have a look at perl with the Tk module...   
The latest Win32 port (up to v 5.004) is working beautifully,
and I've now had the same series of scripts running on NT 4, NT 3.5, 
Linux (RH4.1) and Digital UNIX...

And after a while, I got the hang of SpecPerl (perl Tk output from
the SpecTcl GUI generator)...

Maybe scripting languages +are+ the best answer...
