Now, there's a djgpp project if ever there's been one. Now, I know that
writing a Win95 emu is a bit like trying to emulate a really stupid
slug, but everyone (I hope) can see the value in it.

Otherwise I will probably always be stuck having to use Win 3.1 at least,
(which is what I am using now) because like everyone else there are too
many programs that require it.

And no, I'm not volunteering to be project lead :-) I will gladly spend
days if not months glued to the keyboard though, if that's what it takes.
I have never done any windows programming except visual basic 2.0 (this
is probably the reason why I never did any more windows programing heheh)
but how hard can it be to emulate the windows API?

Seeings as how I don't even have OpenDOS yet, and not many of us do either,
I'll ah, just shut up.
