I managed to build XMSGAPI, it gave a few warnings about some re-defs or
something, though I still think it worked .

My makefile for DOS-32/DJGPP is experimental but is doing something  since
it displays dozens of warnings and some errors on the very first module to be
built (akamatch). The 1st Error I need to fix is a missing file (progprot.h).
Does anyone know why it would be missing from CVS? Can I use the one from the
old DOS NetMgr v1.0 source distribution?

My makefile, a guess at best by modifying the NetMgr/Unix makefile based on the
XMSGAPI/DOS-32/DJGPP makefile, is below, and comments are welcome :
