2.8.1 is fine for C programming. C++ is a problem. I understand C++ used
to work with the earlier version, but I haven't tested it. I believe all
that is required is a rebuild of the compiler with the stabs option
enabled, but I haven't gotten that ambitious yet.

I have put two sets of patches on my site,

http://people.montana.com/~bowman/Rsxntdj/rsxntdj.htm

The first [patch] will handle most of the files you will need for
straightforward Windows programming. The second [DirectX] patches the
headers used with DirectX and provides a workaround for UUID
information.

The djgpp 'ld' works for me for producing .exe files, but the rsxntdj
'ld' seems to be needed to successfully build a .dll. I believe the .dll
options will need some work.

You might want to search the archives for the discussion on modifying
the spec file to include either the /mt or /st library in the search
path.

NOTE: I'm working on Win95, but I assume the above will work on 98. NT
users are on their own.
