Dear JM,

You may want to make the leap to software specifically designed for creating
WIN 32 programs.  There is Cygwin which, in an attempt to make Unix programs
portable, uses its own DLL and can cause code bloat and increase compilation
times.   If you don't care about porting Unix programs, you can use Mingw.  It
makes calls to existing DLL's in Win 95/98 and NT OS's thereby reducing code
bloat and also compiling times.  Please see the following page by Mumit Khan
for more info: http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/gnu-win32/index.html

For IDE's and GUI's that can be used please visit the following link:
http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/gnu-win32/ide-and-gui.html#GUI

By the way, the tools are free!

Hope that helps,

David O
