Oh yes, it's what I develop OS/2 stuff under, I hadn't figured you could
use it under DOS as well until last week though when I suddenly *had* to
compile PFind for DOS and my DJGPP had gone walkabout...

The #OS/2 IRC channel explained how to do it, then proceeded to lead me on
a merry chase all over the internet for the rsx.exe that I needed to let it
run in a windoze box as well, and said program got sent to Mr X in South
Australia about ten minutes before the world would have ended :)
