comp.os.msdos.djgpp *does* exist, but it might be that your news
server doesn't carry it.

TSRs in protected mode are tricky, but it can be done.  The DJGPP FAQ
list has a pointer to some sample code that shows how to do that.

Please tell more details.  ``MSVC++ 6.0 standard edition'' doesn't
tell anything to me, since I don't use it.  What features of the
development environment and of the runtime do you need to be
supported?

DJGPP has a command-line compiler, so you can use MSVC as your editor
and then run the compiler from the command prompt in another window.
