My friend made use of it with the old version of djgpp, and it : seems that using RSX rather than go32 allows programs to do something : like a fork() system call in Unix. Fork!? That's multitasking--seriously. : But it doesn't seem to work under v2. Why? I don't know about such a feature, but I know that you shouldn't use DJGPP, at least according to the documentation of RSXNT. Use EMX or the recompiled version for Win32, Win3.1 and DOS. RSXNT seems quite nice, btw. A lot better than Cygnus' kludge, which is of course Win32 only, but anyway. -- Hannu "Azure" Koivisto | Saga nanokernel, Prophet sub-system OS etc. Prime Productions | developer.
