Hmm... I brought this up a few months ago (I was deeng AT fiestanet DOT com
back then), and I didn't get much of a reply. Since then, I've switched
most of the way over to Linux, where I was introduced to WINE. Has
anybody thought about asking the WINE team about this? I know that
there are some options that you can use to compile WINE that will let
you write Win16 (and maybe Win32, but Win32 support in WINE is still
pretty shabby, but it's improving rapidly) under Linux gcc (and I
remember there was a very strange workaround for the resource
compiler). I'd love to help, but school seems to take up WAY too much
of my time. Maybe somebody could get this going and I could help during
the summer. You could also contact the Freedows'98 team
(http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/7519), which is trying to make a
GPL'ed Win95 clone (with full C support, so I think they'd be glad to
have a GPL'ed compiler out there that works for Win32).
