And currently I feel a deep need for a 'How to set up - and patch - > RSXNTDJ'. RSXNTDJ was an useful tool, but it has always had problems, and the current release is no exception. I had some patches and workarounds for the 1.3 package, but I've switched to Linux at home and at work and don't have the time to play around with 1.5. It is unfortunate, but there are at least two good alternatives that do not have all the little frustrations built in. Look at mingW32, which runs out of the box, especially with Anders Norlander's headers. Mumit Khan and others have made this the package of preference if you want to do Windows programming with a gnu compiler. The other option is LccWin32. This is based on lcc, and once again Jacob Navia has put a lot of time and energy into making it a dependable and useful package. Its installation might even be easier than mingW32 and it comes with an IDE if that is your preference. -- Bear Technology Making Montana safe for Grizzlies http://people.montana.com/~bowman/
