For the people that missed my original thread, I've been working on a dialog replacement for ports. The program is a a) free (MIT licensed) b) smart enough to deal with mutually exclusive options and user-input options c) have the ability have "long descriptions" of options d) more The source code that I've been working on is here: https://code.google.com/p/dialog4ports/source/browse/ This program could integrate well with bapt's patch.
