RSXWDK supposed to do that, but read the past postings saying that it's a 
Bad Idea. Also, Cygnus was this new product called Cygwin-32, based on 
GCC-2.7.0 I think, it's a gcc for Win95/NT. But text mode.

BTW anyone have success with Cygwin? it's totally unlike RSXWIN in the 
sense that it needs a DOS box (at least, the beta11 which I have). I 
can't get most of it to work, though :(

There's a libwsock.a file in the binary distribution, does anyone know if 
this is a wrapper to change BSD sockets calls to Winsock, or it's just 
the winsock interface itself?

Where are the docs for Cygwin? (I suppose you Pay For Support, though). 
Anybody found out how stable it is? I want to know if I can do something 
like compile Apache HTTPd under Win95 and it works.

Cheers,

Orly
