Hi all,

I am a committed straight DJGPP coder (i. e. I have not yet decided to line
Bill Gates's pocket by buying whatever Windows C compiler to do DirectX
etc...) I know about RSXNTDJ and some of the project/s to make DJGPP do
Win/DirectX so here is my question:

How do you see the future of DJGPP in both plain DOS and RSX/DirectX capable
versions? Is it worth it to go on "buying into" (i.e. learning the compiler
specific stuff & etc, not $) for DJGPP or should I capitulate like the rest
of the universe and get a Microsoft Windows based compiler for doing
"native" Win95/NT directX coding etc.?

I do not want to offend the group by starting a beaten thread (this has been
discussed before, right?) so just mail me a reply if you have an opinion to
express rather than threading. The mail archives require perusing but they
are "archives" right i.e. archive = the past. I wonder about the current
opinions of frequent DJGPPer's.

Fanx!
