I was about to post asking a couple of these very questions.
I'll answer what little I do know and hopefully someone can
clarify for us.

Kurt Hausler (kurt AT deepsouth DOT co DOT nz) spake thus:
: Hi.  I have got both rsxntdj1 and the package windows32api-0.1.2 of
: the net in the last few days and I want to know the following:
: What are the advantages and disadvantages of each?

: Are they supposed to work together?
I don't think so.  Programs developed with the cygnus tools can access
the win32 api and cygnus' api as well.  Well actually, I suppose you
could use functions from rsxntdj1 in the same program as well.  I'm sure
they overlap a bunch though.
: Is the windows32api package supposed to be hosted on a UNIX system?
No.  This package is a port of the GNU development tools to windows 95
and NT.  Similar to the way djgpp is the dos port of these tools.
: Which is better?

: I have got windows apps to compile under rsxntdj but I am unsure of
: how to set up the windows32-api package as it looks like it needs a
: UNIX style shell to run the setup script.  Any advice on this matter?
Read the instructions on installing? 8^)  I'm about to do it myself,
so feel free to bug me(maybe we'll get some of the same errors, :)
: Thanks a lot,

: Kurt Hausler
