I've been running Win2k for a while now, and I can say that yes, DJGPP progr
ams will run, unless they use VESA (as Damian said). However, the linker see
ms to have problems - both standalone and within RHIDE, it crashes out inste
ad of linking the program, so I've had to do a dual-boot with DOS to enable
me to compile DJGPP apps.
The added benefit of win2k over NT 4 is that it supports the LFN API, so DJG
PP progs can use long filenames when run from win2000.
