I've had DVX 2.0 sitting on the shelf for almost 20 years now. I was about to throw it away and then came up with this PLC "new" front end project. I wanted to use gnu tools so I picked DJGPP. I knew nothing about DJGPP until recently. I'm not affraid of the work involved, but I would not know where to begin.  I sure would like to develop this application using DJGPP & DVX. So, I need to use DJGPPl V1.x to get started.  Right? ;(
