I've been using djgpp to compile 32 bit DOS applications for quite some
time.  When I heard about the possibility of writing Windows apps with
it, I decided to check it out.  I can't use the Cygnus Win32 port of
gcc because it only seems to work for Windows '95 and NT which I do not
have (I tired it out with Win32s to no avail).  So I went with the RSX
stuff.

The long and short of it is that I can compile the sample codes without
a hitch.  But when I run them, I get the following nasty message from
Windows 3.1:
	---------------------------------------------
	|         Application Error                 |
	|  RSXW32 caused a General Protection Fault |
	| in module KRNL386.EXE at 0001:003A        |
	---------------------------------------------

I've made various attempts at resolving the problem, ranging from 
removing all but the bare minimum number of device drivers to
double checking every step of the compilation process.  I am
wondering if this is something other people have encountred and
resolved?  If you could give me any advice in this matter (other
than reading FAQ's since I've already looked there and didn't
find anything) I'd greatly appreciate the help.  If there's a
solution, I'll send email to the RSX author to include it in
the documentation.

thanks for the help,
daniel
