Hay folks,

I have tried running several DJGPP-2.0 programs on windows-NT.
It seems to work reasonable. Still some problems:

1) Applications sometimes stop without any message. As far as I can see
it is always near the opening of a file. But it is not exactly reproducable.
Sometimes I think it has to do with forward or backward slashes in paths, but
I am not sure.

2) Graphics is a problem. Is there a possibility to access video memory in
a DOS box in NT? Is it possible to port the GRX20 library to this environment.

Maybe anyone can help.
