What is the difference between Allegro and RSXNTDJ ?

For instance, I would like to build some application with GUI.

Which of them (Allegro, RSXNTDJ) should I use ?

Allegro Version 4.0.2


  A game programming library.


==================================
============ Features ============
==================================

   Cross-platform support for DOS, Windows, Unix, BeOS, QNX and MacOS systems.

   Drawing functions including putpixel, getpixel, lines, rectangles, flat
   shaded, gouraud shaded, texture mapped, and z-buffered polygons, circles,
   floodfill, bezier splines, patterned fills, masked, run length encoded,
   and compiled sprites, blitting, bitmap scaling and rotation,
   translucency/lighting, and text output with proportional fonts. Supports
   clipping, and can draw directly to the screen or to memory bitmaps of any
   size.

   DOS graphics drivers for VGA mode 13h, mode-X (twenty three tweaked VGA
   resolutions plus unchained 640x400 Xtended mode), and SVGA modes with 8,
   15, 16, 24, and 32 bit color depths, taking full advantage of VBE 2.0
   linear framebuffers and the VBE/AF hardware accelerator API if they are
   available. Additional video hardware support is available from the
   FreeBE/AF project (http://www.talula.demon.co.uk/freebe/).

   Windows graphics drivers using DirectX in fullscreen and windowed modes,
   plus routines for drawing onto GDI device contexts.

   Unix graphics drivers for X, DGA, fbcon, SVGAlib, VBE/AF, mode-X, and
   standard VGA.

   BeOS graphics drivers using BWindowScreen in fullscreen and BDirectWindow
   in windowed modes.

   Hardware scrolling and triple buffering (where available), mode-X split
   screens, and palette manipulation.

   FLI/FLC animation player.

   Plays background MIDI music and up to 64 simultaneous sound effects, and
   can record sample waveforms and MIDI input. Samples can be looped
   (forwards, backwards, or bidirectionally), and the volume, pan, pitch,
   etc, can be adjusted while they are playing. The MIDI player responds to
   note on, note off, main volume, pan, pitch bend, and program change
   messages, using the General MIDI patch set and drum mappings. DOS version
   currently supports Adlib, SB, SB Pro, SB16, AWE32, MPU-401, ESS
   AudioDrive, Ensoniq Soundscape, and Windows Sound System. Windows version
   supports WaveOut and DirectSound interfaces and the system MIDI drivers.
   Unix version supports OSS, ESD, and ALSA sound drivers. BeOS version
   supports BSoundPlayer and BMidiSynth interfaces. All versions provide
   software wavetable MIDI playback.

   Easy access to the mouse, keyboard, joystick, and high resolution timer
   interrupts, including a vertical retrace interrupt simulator in the DOS
   version.

   Routines for reading and writing LZSS compressed files.

   Multi-object data files and a grabber utility.

   Math functions including fixed point arithmetic, lookup table trig, and
   3d vector/matrix/quaternion manipulation.

   GUI dialog manager and file selector.

   Built-in support for 16-bit and UTF-8 format Unicode characters.

RSXNTDJ 1.5.1
=============
1.1 - What is RSXNTDJ?
 RSXNTDJ is an add on to DJGPP allowing it to compile
both console and GUI Win32 programs. DJGPP is a free
32-bit development system for DOS made up mostly of DOS
ports of the famous GNU software. Included is ports for
GCC, the binutils, fileutils etc. If you've never heard
of DJGPP before I strongly suggest you go to the homepage
(http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/) to find out more.
