I tried to use DJGPP for Windows programs, but RSX just didn't cut
it (especially with the GPL). I want to get rid of MSVC, but I need to
program a little for Windows. I'd love to add Windows support to DJGPP,
but I'm running a bit low on info and time. I know the Windows .EXE file
format a little, but it will take MUCH more than that to get anything
working (e.g. imports/exports in libraries for DLLs). Does anybody want
to help me? Once DJGPP supports Windows, there's no reason (except for
parts of C++ being under the GPL) that DJGPP wouldn't become one of the
most popular C compilers (think about it: if it had basically the same
capabilities as other Windows C compilers go, but it's free and the
others are at least $300 for the same quality, who wouldn't use it?).
