I've tried cygnus, well I threw it away pretty soon.

The gdb debugger messed up the keyboard in console mode, maybe the fact
that I'm working with the Hebrew version of win95 has something to do
with it, anyway it shouldn't happen.

When running the GUI version of gdb with Tcl/Tk, the debugger also had
problems synchronizing between code and source. 

I heard that this is an early beta release, so based on my short
experience, stick to what you got if it works.

I'd appreciate any feedback on rsxtdj, I'm going to try it out now (I've
installed djgpp v2).

Please reply by e-mail too.

Thanks
