Barley,
You don't need the big dialog boxes to make full use of Stata 8. The
program works just fine under Windows 98.
But you do need big dialog boxes if you want to write (or even use) an
advanced dialog-driven graphics application, in which the non-technical
user can select symbol colors, line pattern styles, text sizes and
everything else, and get it all exactly right, without using the
complicated syntax of the Stata 8 graphics system with its "options within
options within options".
