At least I had that impression a couple of months back, when I thought that it was a waste using DJGpp just for XP console programs. I would be glad if anybody could prove me wrong and let us know how to get RSXNTDJ to actually cooperate with Win XP. One strange approach seems to work though: I have written Win32 GUI programs in D and have linked external DJGpp C code to them (after conversion to the proper object code format). This worked without a problem. If you don't know D, check it out at www.digitalmars.com - it is the best replacement for C and C++ I have seen so far. Whoever can write programs in C, C++, Java or Javascript should be able to handle D pretty quickly. My problem is that I like both - the D language, which is superior to most other languages I know - and of course the maturity of the DJGpp compiler(s).
