Hi,

No response yet to my original posting about how to convert a .lib to a .a.
Even how to convert a .lib to a .dll would work, as I can then convert the
dll myself (using makelib from rsxntdj).

Still... I would really like to be able to write directx programs using
rsxntdj (win32 add-on for djgpp).  In fact, it was one of the main reasons
for getting rsxntdj in the first place.  There *must* be a way to use the
directx libs? I can't believe you simply cannot write directx programs
using rsxntdj as it can't read the libs - there must be a work-around (i.e.
conversion) :(

I know and have tried using WinAlleg, but though the graphics work ok, I
can get no keyboard input.  I would like to be able to use the native
directx anyway...

Can someone help... I really need to convert those .libs and use directx!!
:(

Thanks a lot,
Matt
