Hi Tyler,

Just a WAG, but try _MessageBoxA@16

Not a whole lot of progress lately on Alink, AFAIK. There's an IDE and 
linker (based on Alink, I think) here:

http://www.nasmide.co.nr/

This is a "work in progress", under active development (and looking for 
developers), so it may not be what you want, but I thought I'd mention 
it. If you try it (anyone), let us know what you think.

Best,
Frank
