Since I am interested in creating a lite port of xwindows for dos but want it to be portable in case anyone wanted to port my lite version back. [BEGIN SOAPBOX-- you can skip if you want :P] And I don't think QuickC or WatcomC are open source. Correct me if I am wrong. The #1 best way to support open source is to use the software. That way the efforts of people like DJ don't go to waste. That being said, thank for your responce. I plan to install lots of different software. I'll add those to my list. I may need them. :) [END SOAPBOX] thanks again, ~themouse
