I have a problem.  I have been using DJGPP 1.08 recently to develop some
X clients (I'm currently trying to port/re-write an MS-DOS News reader
[SNEWS for UUPC] as an X client).

I seem to remember that DJ had said that 1.08 would execute properly under
an MS-DOS window of DESQview/X.  I cannot seem to make that happen without
locking up my whole system (I have to exit to DOS, compile, re-start DV/X,
test,repeat).

Is it, in fact, the case that DJGPP 1.08 will run under DV/X 1.02+, or is
that still forthcoming?  If it does, why do you suppose mine is hanging?
Is there some special setting or command-line switch required?

I have all the proper environment settings (otherwise, my MS-DOS compiles
wouldn't work), about 545,000 bytes available in my DV/X MS-DOS window,
on a '486 33 with 8MB RAM.

Thanks in advance.

Bob
