It COULD be even better :-)
Yes, it supports DOS32 programming, and with RSXNTDJ v. 1.31 it
supports WIN32 programming (a large subset, anyway). And it
apparently includes a C++ library (turbovision) port that is even
better than the original ;-) for DOS32.
What it doesn't have, yet, is a RAD tool. A well designed RAD
environment would allow/support:
Rapid development of DOS32/WIN32 program interfaces with no "hand
coding" _required_.
Full customization according to the programmer's needs/desires (with
customizable "template" (not STL) files and toolbars/menus).
Ease of use, for the newbie to the advanced programmer.
Integration with current IDE in use (save in correct project file
format, etc...)
Builtin IDE if desired.
Of course, for this to work with the WIN32 environment, RSXNTDJ must
support c++ programming (I think that it does, but please, if I'm
wrong, correct me). And, a decent class library must be developed (or
ported) for it's use...
What I am checking for is this - are there any programmer's out
there that would like to see something like this? (Or am I the only
one :-) If so, and I were to begin developing a COMPLETELY FREE GPL'd
RAD toolkit for DJGPP/RSXNTDJ, would anyone out there (especially the
c++ coding gurus) be willing to help out - realizing that there would
be no money, fame or fortune, since it's a free tool...
Please, feel free to respond both to the list and to my email
personally on this, since I don't have a problem with "duplication"
:-) and I'd like the whole list to see the results...
If there is sufficient interest, I'd definitely like to get started
on this, but I won't be able to for about a month or so, so feel free
to let me know what you think :-)
