No, thanks, not to me anyway. I just wanted to know roughly
what was involved. I use gcc 2.7.2.1 and binutils 2.7, so I
had no incompatibility problems with RSXNTDJ at all.
Although, I think maybe if the RSXNTDJ author isn't around at
the moment it would be good to work out a new djgpp.env for
RSXNTDJ with gcc 2.8.1, and also to compile a new ld.exe
(using the patch in the RSXNTDJ distribution) based on binutils
2.8.1 (or whatever the latest version is). Plus Doug Gale has
his patch to the specs, and I have a patch to dllexp.c.
It would be better if we could contact the author though, so
that he could coordinate it all.
