Thanks for the info.

To explain my previous posting, let me just quote what the 'Xploding
the horizons of Dos' document from Quarterdeck for the developer
conference (which was in August) :

"... a complimentary DESQview/X11 toolkit is available to attendees of
all five days of the conference - complete with GNU C compiler, O'Reilly
reference and programming guides, Rational Systems'DOS/4GX DOS
extender tools and Instant-C development environment. (a $750 value)."

PS : do you expect a DPMI version of your go32 library ?
