After changing the LIBRARIES variable in the Allegro RSXNTDJ makefile to
-lcomdlg32 I got it to compile partly, till it hit the GRC part. As I
had mentioned earlier, some of the RSXNTDJ GUI examples broke on
converting the .rc files to .res files; CPP would complain about
problems in the .rc file. Obviously just copying cpp.exe to the DJGPP
bin directory is not sufficient. Any ideas on how to solve the GRC
problem? 

The second thing I tried was installing the MSSDK and changing the
Allegro RSXNTDJ makefile from "grc -o ..." to "rc /fo ...". That got
Allegro to finish compiling, but running the examples or the demo
results in a switch to graphics mode and then an abrupt termination of
the program. Any suggestions what might be causing this?

Thirdly I installed Mingw32 as instructed in the Allegro Mingw32 readme
file and Allegro compiled out-of-the-box and the examples & demo work
fine.
