RSXNTDJ was an useful tool, but it has always had problems, and the
current release is no exception. I had some patches and workarounds for
the 1.3 package, but I've switched to Linux at home and at work and
don't have the time to play around with 1.5. It is unfortunate, but
there are at least two good alternatives that do not have all the little
frustrations built in.

Look at mingW32, which runs out of the box, especially with Anders
Norlander's headers. Mumit Khan and others have made this the package of
preference if you want to do Windows programming with a gnu compiler.

The other option is LccWin32. This is based on lcc, and once again Jacob
Navia has put a lot of time and energy into making it a dependable and
useful package. Its installation might even be easier than mingW32 and
it comes with an IDE if that is your preference.
