Let me rephrase: it seemed to me that who works in games, uses DJGPP.

I'll try it!

OK! I'll read it carefully. Thanks for the advice!

That's the point. It's very (VERY!) probable that my application should
generate some graphic input/output and that MUST be Win95 ... The point
is: I don't trust in Win95 (I begining with Linux), it's very unstable,
but ... I'm alone here with my cruzade!

Anyway, thanks a lot for your advices!!!
