Well, with little support for rsxntdj, and the extreme gyrations
required to make it work, I've decided to refocus my attention to LCC.
That way I can still compile with djgpp without any modification to the
strings, env file, autoexec.bat, recopying libraries to different
directories, ect...

The only problem is that both use the make command from their own
make.exe, making it difficult with the global paths of autoexec.bat. For
anyone who is interested, I overcame this by simply renaming the
make.exe used in LCC to lmake.exe, and running lmake from the command
line rather than make for lcc files (I still haven't figured out how to
use the gui editor to run lmake rather than make). It works like a
peach, and there is no crossover complications. Additionally, I used the
gui editer for LCC to recreate the makefiles of the rsxntdj samples, and
so far I've successfully compiled Commctl and Speed programs. Windowed
uses a rsxntdj specific lib I believe, but the rest should for the most
part port over with just a change of the make file. Make sure you
include resource files along with the .c files.

Sorry for the multiple posts and the stress. I hope this is of help to
someone. It seems that the majority of djgpp users use this on a
Win95/Dos box, and to be able to design software for both platforms
would be advantagious, regardless the critisism we have for Win95.

Cheers,
Mike
