After reading about Reqtools.mcc (proposed by Henning Thielemann for the MUI wishlist, initiated by Kai Hofmann) then I asked him to make it a menuitem subclass. But as he didn't like the idea, I decided to write a "prototype" myself. Just to see how well it would function.

My class doesn't offer asynchronously requesters, as this is only possible with ReqTools.library - I currently use ASL, for consistency - But my class does offer some other neat features like:

• You can take notify on a lock, rather than a filename. This ensures you that the file has been opened succesfully - if it didn't, the user will be prompted with the correct DOS message, and no notification will be sent.
• You can have an optional 'confirm'-text before or after a requester. The one after will only appear if the user tries to overwrite a file, and it features choices such as "rename". The requester text is a printf-style string, where you can use escape codes to get the size and/or date of the existing file.

Since I have only received one letter of endorsement then I've dropped the project. The class, with source, can still be downloaded. But do not use it in its current form, as it is not a registered class, and probably never will be...
