Is anyone out there still using RSXDJ?
If yes, please give me your thoughts.

I guess Mingw or Cygwin are the de-facto
standards for gcc on Windows systems
now. But I like the fact that DJGPP is always
much faster to have the the newest gcc
versions implemented.

What makes me suspicious, however, are
rumors that RSXDJ is buggy and development
has aparently ceased in 1999. This is not a
good match to the otherwise very mature
DJGPP system.

So would you guys advise me to stay
away from RSXDJ or would you recommend
to give it a try if Win32 features are kept
as simple as possible?

I'd anyway use VC++ for more sophisticated
Windows programs. But I don't like the idea
that the 2003 VC++ version seems to lack
some C99 features. Maybe they'll have that
fixed in their 2005 version?

Thanks.
