I've been attempting to get started in Windows programming. I've run into
problems choosing a compiler becuase I'm still using Win3.1. I want to be able
to write programs for Win32s. (this started out as a project to write a simple
happy birthday program for a friend at west point) DJGPP w/ RSXNT
seems to be my only choice for writing programs, which is fine with me, but I
have only one problem. Even simple "Hello world!" programs rely upon RSXNT.DLL 
in order to run. Is there a way around this? I'm new to both windows
programming and C, but I am experienced with pascal, fortran, and some
assembly. It seems the necessary functions could be linked into the program,
leaving the others out and ending this dependancy, but I'm not sure how. Forgive
me if there is a simple answer to this question in the RSXNT docs; my
unfamiliarity has made it difficult to find the answer I'm looking for. I'm not
so much concerned with "how" as I am with "is it possible" although some
direction would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
