Eli,
Well, after digging through the info files and sources for the past week
and a half, I capitulate . . . As nice as developing with MSVC would be,
the porting effort seems staggering . . . Meanwhile, I've installed
RHIDE, and it seems to work OK.
Along those lines, I wonder:
Has a project for djgpp been built under RHIDE? Is it available?
If not, do you think it is feasible to build one, or should I concentrate
my efforts on manually editing the existing make file as we go along?
Thanks again for yor help.
