Windows Command Line Dialog Tool

I need a dialog tool similar to cdialog (or whiptail), but one that will work on Windows.

I have MinGW, and compiling something from the source is not a problem, but both cdialog and whiptail, the only ones that I know about, contain UNIX-specific code and therefore they will not compile on Windows.

Are there any alternatives that I can use? I would prefer not to understand and replace the platform code itself.

I remember the E text editor using wxCocoaDialog for this purpose:

wxCocoaDialog is the multi-platform port of CocoaDialog for OS X that allows you to use common GUI controls such as file selector, text input, progress indicators, yes / no confirmation, and much more using the command line application. It is ideal for use in shell and Perl scripts (or Ruby, or Python, or ... etc.).

For Windows, there is a dialog port .

Have you looked at Cygwin ( http://www.cygwin.com/ ) and not at MinGW? Cygwin is a very Unix / Linux-like environment to the extent that most Unix programs can be built without modification. Depending on what you want to do with the results, licensing Cygwin can be a problem.
