Has anyone tried these things on Windows XP as well - if someone has
a beta or RC1 installed, it would be nice if we could get this checked.
I suspect many DJGPP users use the "home" editions of Windows, so WinXP
would be the logical upgrade for them; it would be nice if the fixes
for Win2K make that a smooth transition, but I'm inclined to think
there'll be other issues there as well (heaven forbid WinXP ships with
a _working_ VDM).
