Interesting.  I'm usually pretty good about reading documentation
(especially before asking for help).  I'm one of the only people I know
who actually reads license agreements.  I guess that one just slipped

I believe that my problem really was with RSX (I don't use it now).
After searching the mail archives at
http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/mail-archives/, I tried building a library
from a windows .dll using makelib.  This had been recommended as a
solution to a problem similar to mine.
