"GUI".

Just to add, I've answered this question about a thousand times, and you can add that line
almost anywhere in that file. I add it right before the return in main().

>then compile a new libmain.a this way :
>>gccw32 -c -O2 -Zwin32 winmain.c
>>ar r libmain.a winmain.o
>>ar s libmain.a

Everyone who has downloaded RSXNTDJ 1.5 has had this problem. I don't want to insult him
too much, but if Rainer (the RSXNTDJ author) had bothered testing the new version before
releasing he would have saved everybody days of trouble trying to make it work. BTW,
Rainer, if you're reading, a long file name enabled zipper would've helped as well.
