NTVDM will only be started after you run a DOS image.  It will be
shut down if you close the command line window (or reboot). If NTVDM
isn't in the task list after running a DOS image, then that is very
unusual.

Yes, fileutils.  But they shouldn't be used or required by a simple 
gcc compile.  Double check your path to make sure the DJGPP path is first
and you don't have any environment variables like "SHELL" defined.
