That's not correct. SWORD is a DOS-based GUI which you can use to
enhance your DJGPP programs. Developing Win32-Apps is not possible with
it. You can download it from any SimTel-Mirror (where you probably got
DJGPP from as well). It resides in the Toolkit-Directory (v2tk).
If you want to develop Win32-Apps you should take a look at RSXNTDJ for
instance. It's an extension for DJGPP which allows you to write Windows
programs. But it's not the easiest way, believe me. The easiest way
would be to use a more visual way of programming (e.g. Microsoft Visual
C++).
