There is win32 gcc native version - EGCS Mingw32 native.
The workshop is similar to DJGPP.
it can be downloaded from ftp.franken.de

>I downloaded RSXNTDJ.
>The instructions for installing I found quite easy.
>Whe I compiled there where missing libraraies.
>Hopefully looking the FAQ-> nope.
>Looking this group for 4 days. Ahhh.
>You have to make some undocumented changes in the specs.
>Uhh: C compiling is working, but C++ o's can't be linked.
>This problem is still unresolved.
