Absolute beginner in c here trying to figure a few things out, please help
if you can.

Writing a little program with djgpp, it executes in the win95 dos box. What
I'm trying to do is to modify it so it opens its own window in win95 like
most other applications. 

-	Have found rsxntdj, is this a good thing to use to make windows type
programs?

-	In rsxntdj readme(help?) file in rsxntdj\doc\readme.exe, in section first
win32 program, says type this and save as test.c, when trying to compile it
get the following errors:

C:\DJGPP\MySource>gcc -Zwin32 test.c -o test.exe
test.c:3: parse error before `WinMain'
test.c:3: parse error before `hInstance'
test.c: In function `WinMain':
test.c:8: `NULL' undeclared (first use this function)
test.c:8: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
test.c:8: for each function it appears in.)
test.c:8: `MB_OK' undeclared (first use this function)

-	Using DFE, to run the makefiles, in dir rsxntdj\sample\gui\cplus\ when
the makefile is processing I receive the error makefile: 13: *** missing
seperator

-	Could someone point me to a web page or other online resource for some
beginner win95 programming with djgpp.


- This one is driving me crazy, 

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main()
{


	char bytes[10];			
	strcpy(bytes, "0");
	
	char date[11];
	strcpy(date, "01:01:1980");  
	

return 0;

}	


when trying to compile the above the resulting error messages occur:
C:\DJGPP\MySource>gcc test.c -o test.exe -lm
test.c: In function `main':
test.c:11: parse error before `char'
test.c:12: `date' undeclared (first use this function)
test.c:12: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
test.c:12: for each function it appears in.)


thats it for now, hope you can help me out.

Please remove nospam from my email if you wish to reply that way, better
yet to post to the group so everyone benefits.
