[Email sent to the author directly, but everyone else might be interested too.]

From your article, it sounds like you want to use a message box with those
neat icons in it.  So use the message box stuff that borland gives you
directly:  BWCCMessageBox().

Full documentation on ALL of the BWCC stuff is on the borland distribution
disk.  In something like \borlandc\doc\bwcc.doc, or something like that...
I think it even tells you where to look in the README release notes...

In addition, the full source code to the DLL is on the disks as well in the
example directories, I believe.
