The thing is, if someone can't handle the simplicity of the DJGPP installation and simple DOS commands and configuration, then they probably have a long way to go before they should program with DJGPP (or indeed, program in general). > Advantages: > No WinZip problems. There are no problems with unzipping DJGPP packages in Winzip as long long as the "Use Folder Names" box is checked in the Extract dialog. > No missing files.

This is only two lines in the autoexec.bat for goodness sake. > No more -lstdcx bug. This is fixed in the latest RHIDE. I don't see advantages to a program like this, but this is only my opinion. -- Johan Venter ICQ 3643877 - jventer AT writeme DOT com The TPU DJGPP Interest Group - http://surf.to/djgppig The RSXNTDJ 1.5 HOWTO - http://surf.to/rsxntdj
