If you mean, write windoze programs, it's not gonna happen. If you
mean, run a go32 program in a dos box under windoze, well, then we
need DPMI support in go32. I am currently looking into providing that
feature sometime in the next six months or so. DJ's time is going to
be very limited for a while, so I'm going to see what I can do to
fill the gap as far as development goes... NO PROMISES, though.
