I might have been talking out of ignorance, but what bothers me is exactly
how ``simple'' a program must be before it can be compiled with RSXNTDJ
without additional packages such as MFC.  Can you write a full-blown Win32
program with a decent GUI (dialog boxes, scroll bars, fonts, etc.) with
only DJGPP and RSXNTDJ?  If you can, then why did Cygnus develop a whole
new project instead of just using DJGPP and RSXNT?
