Yes, right. RSXNTDJ1 doesn't work with v2.01 of DJGPP. Why? I haven't
tested it deeply enough, but none of my projects compiles in 2.01
while still working with 2.00. Rainer, have any idea on what's wrong?

AFAIK no. But I think that we should make it a rule of a thumb and if
the Novell DOS is detected with EMM386 installed, we should assume
this is The Bad One.
