Yeah, I originally tried the RSXNTDJ package and couldn't for the life
of me get it to link the ddraw.lib at compile time smoothly. I managed
to get it to compile, but it wouldn't run - it just GPF'ed. But that
was a while ago, and I really don't have time to play with it at the
moment. :(  If someone else wants to try, I can upload one of the
simple C progs from the SDK and tell you what libs you need etc...
