1) Latest release-versions of everything:

djdev203, bnu215, gcc343, mak3791
rsxntdj151
WinXP SP2


2) Latest message from the test lab:

It seems that RSXNTDJ is not linking properly with the current
configuration (gcc, ld). The old linker patch supplied with
RSXNTDJ is not working. The gccw32.exe program does exactly
the same thing as gcc.exe would do. It can link Win32 functions
to a console based program but this will crash as soon as the
first Win32 function is called.

So I have to conclude that my thought, RSXNTDJ would generate
Win32 compatible (console) programs, was purely imaginary.

Also my guess that RSXNTDJ generated programs would
not force the console window to be resized to 80 columns,
was wrong, because this is not RSXNTDJ related. Someone,
either the Delorie team or Microsoft seem to have fixed the
console window's desire to resize itself for compatibility
reasons in the past couple of months.

Thanks guys!
