DJGPP does not need RSXWIN to run in DOS window, but AFAIK it will
also work with RSXWIN (since RSXWIN has fp emulator this may be better
if you are running on an SX machine).

Yes. RSXWDK2 allows one to use djgpp to create windows programs. I
just used the test files, and they worked. (don't just get the binary,
get the source also. you need both).

    Piet> 6. Are some programs easier to port with one or the other?
emx/rsx has signals, fork, pipe etc which are missing from the current
DJGPP (but will be added in the next version). I think if you use
djgpp with rsx you will get signals, fork. 

hope this helps.
