It would be quite cool if DirectX2 could be used with DJGPP2
and the RSXNT package. The main problem would appear to be linking
resources/objects(whatever they're calling them now in Redmond)
created with the development tools with code from GCC/GAS.
The unfortunate aspect of DirectX is that it probably will be
the *only* way to access hardware when the new Windows NT is
released. Isn't it true that the protection in NT prevents
access to I/O ports, mapping of linear frame buffer memory,
redirecting interrupt vectors, and such? Bye, Bye, Mr. DPMI!
