You are still here with us, working to make your product better, taking in our feedback and using it. I think RSXNTDJ should be taken off the djgpp mirrors to stop people downloading it and then coming to us with thousands of never-ending questions. Rather use something like mingw32 which works first time, everytime. -- Johan Venter ICQ 3643877 surf.to/djgppig
