Yeah, I'm using DJGPP now, and I have to say, it's pretty nice, as far as
things go.

Everything works like ' I ' think it ought to, and that says something...

I remember trying to get a simple program to compile with borland C 4.0
5 years ago or so...it was terrible...very similar to the difficulties I've
had
with JDK in the past years(I've not tried to play with Jave since 1.1.2 came
out.)

But, DJGPP works like a charm, and, for what its worth, RHIDE is pretty nice
too...
It'd be nice if it were GUI, but I don't actually mind working in a DOS
window,
so....

I'll give it a thumbs up....
