You will either a)have to port the headers, and libs to djgpp.  Yes, all
FIFTY MB of them, or you can probably download a semi working patch from
http://bbs.para.co.kr/~bng/drdx/drdx.html
or wait for me to finnish (hopefully) porting everything and Doug Gale
to finnish his PEBind utility.  (Don't know when)

P.S 50Mb, thats a 4x increase from last time.  Oh Dear, what do they
use, pkunzip (or gunzip) to compress it?
