From my tests, you are correct. When I use the ld.exe that
came with RSXNTDJ, the DLL examples that came with rsxntdj will link,
and runtime.exe even runs correctly (I have no idea why loadtime.exe
dies). When I do not use the rsxntdj linker, then I get the _os2dll
as undefined. 

Also, I found that I had to use the following #defines to get 
the system to recognize getopt() optarg, and optind:

#ifdef __DJGPP__
#define getopt _getopt
#define optarg _optarg
#define optind _optind
#endif /* DJGPP */

Also, I re-wrote my subroutine that used the extern char *environ[]
as that way it was kept forcing gcc to try to compile in winmain(),
which I did not want, so I passed it the variable from the main(),
instead of just accessing it as a global variable.

Question: to use the winsock.dll, do I have to use LoadLibrary()
and GetProcAddress() for the socket? What I have done so far is:
   makelib /windows/system/wsock32.dll -o wsock32.a
   mv wsock32.a libwsock32.a

then I link with it:
gcc -O -Zwin32  -DCLIENT -o lpcli lpcli.o strcli.o autogen.o env.o
error.o initvars.o net.o options.o output.o readline.o writen.o
-Ic:/djgpp/src/loadplan/LPserver.works -lwsock32

It links ok, but when I run it, it acts like its connecting, but
when I try to write to the socket, it dies with a pop-up
window titles RSXNT with this error:
Exception at 0x004073CE
Application got signal SIGSEGV

note that the exception address will not change as long as I do
not make changes to and recompile the program.
