After much messing around, I got RSXNTDJ to work for
the most part with gcc version 2.8.1. Here are the
steps I eventually ended up following:

1) Follow directions in readme.exe.

2) Include windows.h in test program in readme.exe

3) In the specs file (for me, it is at
c:/djgpp/rsxntdj/lib/specs), in the *link section,
some changes need to be made. The origional read
something like the following:
*link:
%{Zwin32: -Lc:/djgpp/rsxntdj/lib/all}
However, during compilation, it seemed to be looking
for a library that lived both in
c:/djgpp/rsxntdj/lib/mt and in .../lib/st. I randomly
chose to include mt, so the statement ended up
looking like this:
*link:
%{Zwin32: -Lc:/djgpp/rsxntdj/lib/all
-Lc:/djgpp/rsxntdj/lib/mt}
I have no idea what the difference is between these
two directories, except one, which leads to...

4)There was one lib that lived in the st directory
that  wasn't in mt, and it was needed in compiling
one of the samples. This was libcrtcs.a. I just
copied this one into the mt directory.

5)To get the resource compiler to work, I added the
following to my path statement in the autoexec file:
c:\djgpp\lib\gcc-lib\djgpp\2.81

Sooo, all is well in RSXNTDJ land? Not quite. I can't
seem to compile c++ stuff under djgpp. In the c++
sample, there is apparently an error in the makefile,
so it doesn't work. And, if I change the name of
test.c to test.cpp and try to compile it, I get the
following error:

Error: missing stab strings - not linked with rsxnt

I compiled with gcc -Zwin32 test.cpp -o test.exe.
This same error happened with some other c++ stuff
under win32.

One more thing: has anyone had any luck patching in
mssdk include files? I don't even know what patching
is supposed to do, and I don't think it is working
correctly.
