That DOS box popping up is not caused by RSX, per se, but by the fact that you compiled that program as a 'console application'. Truth to be told, it's not even a 'DOS box' in the first place: it's a console window. In the case of a true DJGPP app, a virtual DOS machine would run in that console window, causing it to be a DOS box. But for an RSX application, it just stays a win32 console. If you don't want to have a console window, you need to write your programm as a full-fledged Windows application, which is a wildly different style of programming, compared to traditional ANSI-C or DOS programming. It takes a whole new learning effort, usually. -- Hans-Bernhard Broeker (broeker AT physik DOT rwth-aachen DOT de) Even if all the snow were burnt, ashes would remain.
