Just have it open an arbitrary app and pipe the messages on stdin. That way you can plug in a GTK front end, curses etc etc

OK, cool, I guess routing that into a GUI should be on somebodies mental if not marked up todo list.
just another note (hmm, by speaking on this, I fear I am getting dangerously close to volunteering): it's probably /not/ cool to use windows API's to implement such a GUI -- because the messages could be coming out before core GUI dlls are loaded. I think another poster mentioned the same issue. So I guess it needs to be a pure-x thing...? Maybe MessageBox is safe, but MessageBox seems like a potentially annoying implementation. Otherwise, perhaps its possible to queue premature messages until the neccesary essential dll's load up -- of course, this may never occur, resulting in eerie silence... maybe a job for interprocess RPC, since it supports string arguments so well ;)
I'd muck around with this, but right now I have cabinet.dll at the top of my queue.... maybe soon....
