Subject: Re: DJGPP & NT


----- Begin Included Message -----

   Will DJGPP work in the NT MS-DOS sub-system?
   I guess I think that it will since the MS-DOS subsystem
   supports DMPI 0.9 ... 

   What else does the MS-DOS subsystem have to support to handle
   DJGPP?

   Is anyone runnning or tried running DJGPP on NT?

   [ I just want to know if I can move to NT without being forced to
     port all of my code to Native-NT first... Thts is of course if
     I switch to NT ... ]

----- End Included Message -----

DJGPP will NOT work with NT! It requires VCPI or a 386/486 that isn't running
in virtual x86 mode.

If you really want to upgrade to a 32-bit Graphical OS, why not try OS/2?

The 2.1beta is available on fpt-os2.nmsu.edu (hobbes.nmsu.edu) and 
software.watson.ibm.com.. And yes, it is LEGAL. The only rule is, you must
stop using it when the real release comes out.

There are two (yes two) flavors of gcc available for OS/2... Plain vanilla
gcc, and emx which includes a debugger and some other niceties...
