This is the way:
dos *.com file contain windows exe file as data.
com file create (write) windows exe file
com file run window exe file
com file exit

here you have small example
file isn't dialog box example - graphics demo - but windows exe can contain everything else as you like, e.g. dialog box

dbg.com is unpacked original matrix.com file
raw disassembling dbg.com:
00000000 B45B mov ah,0x5b

Here's a quick example for you to check out. I created a fakecom template file that you can use.

Compile the fakecom.asm and then compile simple.asm afterwards run the bind.bat file to bind the two files.

Hi,
(i havent tested this but...) you could try to run rundll.dll from dos (int 21 / 4bh or int 3f if i remember correctly), an then call user32->CreateDialogParam or other dialog procedures.

rundll is a 16-bit version, and rundll32 is a 32-bit version. Not all API's are compatible with these programs. The exported DLL function itself has to support it.

Read this for more information.
