macOS uses BSD sed, which does support -i. However, I don't think there is a way to get gtkdialog running.
It seems the tar is corrupted. Would you upload the source to GitHub (or another VCS site) and apply a license if you haven't already?
The source code for gtkdialog (presuming that is what you mean) can be found here:
https://github.com/01micko/gtkdialog
compile info: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=538294#538294
and some general programming info re gtkdialog: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=274035#274035
Thanks. I was referring to the source for makeblog, but I should have worded that better. It seems the tar for makeblog is corrupted, rather than gtkdialog.
As it says in the makeblog download:
Just remove the dummy tar and follow the instructions above
i.e. It isn't a tar file. It just has a dummy tar extension because the murga puppy forum doesn't accept uploads without the tar extension. Just remove the extension and you will find that makeblog is a bash script. You can use it from the commandline without gtkdialog even - just enter ./makeblog -u for some usage help.

Ah, okay. I didn't read that closely enough. Thanks.
Not an issue as such. I wondered if bashblog is still being actively developed?
Also wish to announce I have created a gui for bashblog, called "makeblog" (albeit providing some extra functionality on the fly). Temporarily, download and info here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=973642
Tested on DebianDog (Puppy Linux murga forum) mainly, but should work on any Debian/Ubuntu or a Puppy Linux system, as long as gtkdialog installed (link to a deb for that provided in above info). I may add alternative gui's later (e.g. maybe a yad version).
Unfortunately, makeblog currently uses GNU sed (since uses sed -i), so maybe won't work on MAC systems by default, but I may also look into changing that GNU sed need later.
