If want to do windows, save yourself the pain, limitations, and
kludging and get a windows compiler.

There are three that are readily available, stable, in active
developement and in widespread use (and can be found with any search
engine anywhere):
LCC-WIN32 (win32 native port of LCC, no C++, my favorite, small, fast,
VC++ compatible)
Ming32    (win32 port of gcc, uses MS C runtime)
Cygnus    (win32 port of gcc, also includes POSIX compatibility layer,
that isn't 9 Meg as you may have heard)

All three have their strengths and weaknesses, but all three provide
massively more compatibility and usefulness than RSX+DJGPP.

Anyways, good luck.
