Description:    Creating Win32 apps with RSXNTDJ and DJGPP compiler
More descriptions:
    RSXNTDJ allows to create the following Win32 apps:
    GUI, Console, DLL and dual-mode Console (Win32 and 32-bit DOS).
    The tool ntbind.exe converts the GCC compiler output  to the
Win32      format. This release also allows to compile resources.

    There is a help file in "\rsxntdj\doc" for more information.

<end long answer>

make sure to download the latest version 1.3.1 (you can find it at
ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2tk/rsxdj131.zip

btw, there seems to be a problem with the version of ld.exe provided
with the package in that it does _not_ warn you if you forget to specify
the appropriate libraries for linking. i reverted to the original ld.exe
that came with djgpp v.2.01 and haven't had problems with the samples.
make sure to read the docs thoroughly and follow the installation
instructions. keep a backup copy of the original ld.exe
