Dialog Enhancer '99

(1/2) > >>

Martin Iturbide:
Hi

Just for the fun of it I want to try to install "Dialog Enhancer '99" on a ArcaOS test VM.  But I can not get the installer to work for this file "DialogEnhancer99_2-00g.zip". The installer says it misses some files that are right there.

Also, I guess that later I can use "DialogEnhancer99_pack_6-00g.zip" to update it. It has a "UPDATE.DAT" binary that I have no idea how to use yet.

Any ideas on how to install and update this software?

Regards

Martin Iturbide:
Ohh, silly me. Now I get it. You need to combine both files, and the installer will work.

Now I want to see how it works, I don't see any dialog change according to the screenshots.

Regards

IIRC Dialog Enhancer was incorporated into the eCS and AN desktops.

Yes, on ArcaOS there exists \install\dialoag\ORG_EN.ZIP. IIRC it was DIALOG.ZIP on eCS. Both files hold the original resources from before the processing.

Don't remember the licensing, but it may be that eCS used a light version of Dialog Enhancer. But even if that's true, the dialogs received so much updates in the meantime that nobody wants to go back. Just ask Alex for details.

Alex Taylor:
Dialog Enhancer 99 is compatible with Warp 4.  It should not be considered compatible with either eCS or ArcaOS. Installing it on either system will break certain functionality.

eCS licensed and integrated an updated version of Dialog Enhancer which is properly compatible with that system.

ArcaOS does not include Dialog Enhancer per se, but rather a newly-designed set of dialog enhancements specifically intended for it.
