Hello all,

From the previous thread (Re: Interfacing to a MS-Windows application:
How ?) I learned that using DJGPP is not a good choice for fluently
interfacing with MS-Windows apps.
(Many thanks to all the people who replied).

(For all of you who didn't read that thread:
 I asked how to interface a DJGPP app with a MS-Windows app. The main
 result was that using files was the best approach (mainly due to the
 size of the data), and either an MS-Windows app or the DJGPP app should
 be started with 'system()'. )

Another possibility is to switch to a different compiler, and convert
the DJGPP app to a native Windows app, and then start talking DDE or
OLE. Preferably, I'd use the G++ compiler, for example RSXNT.

Is there anybody who can tell me whether this is possible, or references
to documentation/websites/ftp-sites where I can find out myself ?
