DJGPP does not (yet) directly support generation of 32-bit Windows native executables. There's an expansion package available called RSXNT which is supposed to allow Win32 development, although there are still some major components missing, such as an IDE and a debugger. See chapter 3.6 of the DJGPP FAQ (v2/faq210b.zip) for more information on RSX and windows programming in general. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- | John M.
