AFAIK, RSXWIN is not for Win95, but I'm not sure.

Anyway, I'd say that currently, neither is good enough: RSXWIN is 
reportedly only for porting already debugged apps, as it doesn't include 
debug tools; and the Cygnus project is in very early beta phase, whereby 
it keeps changing with every release in a way that breaks programs 
already compiled with a previous release (for an example, read the ``C 
Programming'' column in the latest issues of ``Dr. Dobb's Journal'').
