There appears to be such a thing for usage with EMX.
I haven't any experiences with it, nor with EMX itself.
Perhaps there are DJGPP users out there that also (have)
use(d) EMX and could tell you more about the Windows lib.

Well, I am really clueless on this one.  Is it possible to make GCC to
generate a native MSWindows program ?  Any libraries for emulating stdio?

There is a package called RSXwin which is supposed to allow you to create
32 bits Windoze apps; it is actually an extension to EMX (a port of gcc
for dos and OS/2 2.x) and RSX, an extension which enables EMX programs
to run under DPMI (a dos shell under Windows, for example). With RSXwin,
you should be able to compile Windows 3.0 programs with (hopefully) no
source change. There is also a stdio emulation, and a command line tool
(with menus, mouse support and so on) is provided as an example).

EMX can be found as: emx????? (present version should be 0.8h), but I do  
not remember where (I think i found it at a site specialized in OS/2).
RSX can be found as dpmigcc? (I think there s a version number at the  
end).
RSXwin can be found as rsxwin?? (there s a version number, 2 or 3a I  
guess).

If you can get it and manage to compile anything, could you please mail  
me? I just can t compile anything that #include s windows.h, which is  
rather frustrating...
