I have already read the faq, and that is how I know about cygwin. What I
wanted to know is if Im going to use win95, whats the easiest way since I'm
really new to this stuff. The faq mentions all sorts of problems with rsxwdk
or something, Ive heard many problems about rsxnt and cygwin appears to be
mainly for converting software, not really taking full advantage of win95
stuff (Like directx). The reason I said "crap faq" is because it is a faq,
not a detailed description of the options, it doesn't even mention things
like MSVC++. The other thing is while the faq mentions people who have used
these systems, most have done a bit of messing with the files, which would
really give me problems. Im sorry if I offended you in some way..
