I was the one who originally wrote that FAQ for making RSXNTDJ 1.5 work,
and almost 4 years later I'm still receiving emails asking where it is.
Well, the short answer is RSXNTDJ is a dead product that hasn't been
updated for a looong time. Better to try something more recent like
Cygwin or mingW32.

Anyway, hi to everyone I used to regularly converse with on this group,
I'm now a lurker ;-)

PS. DJ you might want to include this information somewhere, like where
you have put the link for my old HOWTO.
