Hi!


One idea is to create a port of RCS to Windows NT using Cygnus GNU-Win32
(http://www.cygnus.com/misc/gnu-win32/), that attempts to create a Un*x
compatibility layer on top of Win32 operating systems, particularly Windows
NT.

Unfortunately, Cygnus GNU-Win32 isn't a software project as mature as DJGPP, 
and some troubles still remain.  However, AFAIK, DJGPP isn't able to read long 
NT filenames.  GNU software usually compiles out-of-the-box (or almost that :-) 
with Cygnus GNU-Win32 tools.
