I've just downloaded and had a very brief play with it and I'm very
impressed. First, let me just say I did nothing more than play with
the demo programs, but it appears to work fine. The docs (windows help
files) clearly state what you need to do to get it to work.

Simply, path the RSX bin directory *in front of* DJGPP:

	PATH=...G:\RSXNTDJ\BIN;G:\DJGPP\BIN...

and set LIBRARY_PATH to point to ~RSXNTDJ\LIB. That's about it. You
need to edit ~RSXNTDJ\LIB\SPECS if you didn't install RSXNTDJ in
D:\RSXNTDJ. It's a good idea to do "gcc -v" and check that it's
using the RSXNTDJ specs.

One warning. None of the make files will work "out of the box". It's
the old "separator" problem. The make files indent using spaces so
I just fired up emacs and changed that to tabs.

Works a treat after that.

Like I said, please remember that all I did was build and run some of
the demos, it was literally a 30min play. I can't comment on how good
a Win32 development system this is, but it does let you use DJGPP v2
to build the demo Win32 GUI and console code.
