I have posted two messages in that group with the titles "TextCvt Zip File"
and "TextCvt Dialog Pic".

The Dialog Pic message has an attachment which is a screen shot of the file
selection dialog the program presents.

The Zip File message has an attachment which is a zip file containing what
you need to build a little utility called textcvt.exe, a file which uses the
file selection dialog of the style you desire.  It is nothing special, just
a small utility whose function is not important to this discussion other
than that it uses the GetOpenFileName function.

To build it unpack the zip file into a new directory, make that directory
the default one and give this command

  make -f textcvt.mak
  (the space after the -f and the extension .mak are optional)

My system is set up to have WINVER set to 0x400.  If your system is not then
it may not have the new style dialog.  Compare the EXE you build on your
machine to the EXE from the ZIP file and confirm that the one from the ZIP
does what you were asking.

If your build does not have that then add the following to the make file:

On the bcc32 command line add this

  -DWINVER=0x0400

On the ilink32 command line add this:

  -V4.0

Let me know how it works out.
