Hello all:

I'm quoting part of DPMIGCC5.TXT, from the RSXWDK distribution:

This seems to be too good to be true :)
Does anyone have any experience at getting RSX to work with DJGPP v2? how 
is fork() managed? in DJGPP libc.a, fork() is "implemented" as `return 
(-1)'

Is it possible to "insert" Win API calls in such a program (ie 
DJGPP-compiled programs using RSX and running under Windoze?) because if 
so, we can then access Winsock and have an almost-Unix...  :)

Cheers,
