I have done some simple OpenGL stuff using DJGPP & RSXNT.  I used
the Cosmo version of OpenGL which is available free on SGI's website.
It was not real straight forward ... had to convert the DLL's to '.a'
libraries with one of RSXNT's tools, make some minor (but not easy to
find) modifications to some demo OpenGL code, figure out the right way
to compile & link, etc.  It did work though, and was pretty cool.
Before anyone asks, I have already deleted all the work I did (small
hard drive) because I have started using Cygnus's GNU-WIN32 package.
I think RSXNT is pretty good, but I like my tools completely free :)
