Hi Jason.

Thanks for the source code you passed on from Tomas. While I couldn't get
the make to work (how do I do this from my DOSBOX?), I did get the single
line gcc compile to work. The wintest.exe worked on my Win98 beta3
environment okay.

I took a look at the source code. wintest.c is straight forward. However, I
do not understand at all what crt0twin.c (window?) and crt0tcon.c (console?)
do!! Can you shed any light on this? Are these 2 files needed? Are they
stubs of some kind?

Cheers, Mark.
