Subject: LCC-Win32 and DJGPP

I am still on my quest for a Win compiler that can live on the same
computer as DJGPP without major gymnastics and overhauls. I've
downloaded LCC-Win32 for eval, and am wondering if anyone else is using
it alongside DJGPP? I've already tried the RX-thingy compiler, as well
as Ming32. The RX-thingy was pretty cool, but a nightmare to set up.
Ming32 has next to no documentation relative to it specifically (though
it's got good general GCC docs) I could compile hello.c for dos, but it
had no instructions whatsoever on compiling a Win32 program. Cygnus is
supposed to be too resource hogging to create efficient code (but what
Win32 code truly is efficient?). LCC at least has a Wedit IDE that
actually can create a makefile and build right off of that. Nifty. I
managed to get simple.c to compile - it's simple alright, but in a
Windoze sort of way. I'm thinking that it may fill my Win32 needs.
However, I dig DJGPP, and especially Allegro. In no way am I chunking it
for the LCC. Therefore it would be extremely generous if one of you kind
persons out there could offer some detailed instructions/suggestions
(assume I'm stupid :) for setting up the autoexec.bat to use both (they
both use a make.exe), or a way to have seperate .bat files, or
something. Is there a way to clear a path set at autoexec.bat, and
restore it when I'm done? DJGPP will be my primary compiler with LCC
filling in on the Win32 stuff I've got going on.

Thanks a million,
Mike
