RSXDJ131.ZIP is for DJGPP v.2.0.1, whereas RSXNTDJ1.ZIP is for DJGPP
v2.0.0, apparently.  It does include the source of the RSXNTDJ 1.3.1
utilities like grc.exe (resource compiler).  The basic DJGPP v.2.0.1,
RSXDJ131.ZIP, and a Microsoft package called "the Microsoft Platform
SDK" (March 1997 edition, downloadable from the Microsoft web site)
gives you a complete Win32 development environment.

The RSXNTDJ installation replaces the DJGPP ld.exe with its own version,
alters the DJGPP.ENV file to make it search for include files and lib
files in the RSXNTDJ directories as well as the DJGPP directories, and
make gcc use the RSXNTDJ version of the spec file instead of the
original spec file.

The extend to which the Microsoft Platform SDK is needed is limited to
copying the Microsoft include files into a RSXNTDJ include directory,
and applying a patch.
