I don't think that RSXNTDJ is actually working
with Win XP. At least I had that impression a
couple of months back, when I thought that
it was a waste using DJGpp just for XP console
programs.

I would be glad if anybody could prove me
wrong and let us know how to get RSXNTDJ
to actually cooperate with Win XP.

One strange approach seems to work though:

I have written Win32 GUI programs in D and
have linked external DJGpp C code to them
(after conversion to the proper object code
format). This worked without a problem.

If you don't know D, check it out at
www.digitalmars.com - it is the best
replacement for C and C++ I have seen so
far. Whoever can write programs in C, C++,
Java or Javascript should be able to handle
D pretty quickly.

My problem is that I like both - the D
language, which is superior to most other
languages I know - and of course the maturity
of the DJGpp compiler(s).
