Thanks Earnie, I'm a flying blind as I do not have access to MS dev 
environment. However I seem to recall that by default _ASSERT displays 
the text in a message box. The _assert provided in MinGW does not 
do this for a GUI (-mwindows) build: at least I can't get it to.

I guess assert.h could conditionally call a popup assert or pass 
a flag to the CRTDLL function.
