I have not yet decided to line Bill Gates's pocket by buying whatever Windows C compiler to do DirectX etc...) I know about RSXNTDJ and some of the project/s to make DJGPP do Win/DirectX so here is my question: How do you see the future of DJGPP in both plain DOS and RSX/DirectX capable versions? Is it worth it to go on "buying into" (i.e. learning the compiler specific stuff & etc, not $) for DJGPP or should I capitulate like the rest of the universe and get a Microsoft Windows based compiler for doing "native" Win95/NT directX coding etc.? I do not want to offend the group by starting a beaten thread (this has been discussed before, right?) so just mail me a reply if you have an opinion to express rather than threading. The mail archives require perusing but they are "archives" right i.e. archive = the past. I wonder about the current opinions of frequent DJGPPer's.
