Should I use djgpp / rsxntdj or lcc-win32. > And why ?? to be honest, I think you should use LCC. Don't get me wrong, I love DJGPP, but it is a DOS compiler. You should use LCC cause: -it's a lot smaller! it's like 2 or 3 megs in a zip file, compared to about ten or so (DJGPP+RSX) -even if DJGPP is free, there are some legal issues with RSX, which don't exist with LCC -I think LCC was designed especially for win32 developement, so it would just be better. Whatever. this is just my opinion. -- --> http://www.cam.org/~tudor <--
