Essentially yes. Actually, RSX is more than just a library --- it's a
complete replacement of the DJGPP runtime environment. Using RSX,
you're essentially cross-compiling: the compiler runs under a
different system (DOS) than the programs it makes (WIN32).  For many
applications, using a native Win32 compiler (Cygwin or MinGW32) is
preferrable to that.

For the time being, I'd advise to set aside all these issues and
concentrate upon learning the C programming language itself, first.
Trying to learn C and Windows programming both at the same time will
only cause headaches.
