Neither rms or I have ever heard of GNU-WINDOWS (for MS-DOS).

Perhaps the author expected he would try to donate the software to
the GNU Project, but never did.

Note that many programmers use the GNU General Public License these
days, whose software does not end up as part of GNU.  Usually because
it's for a non-*nix operating system.  So use of the copyleft (or even
the word "GNU"), does not mean the software is part of the GNU
Project.

FSF, and GNUers in general, are happy to see the copyleft used this way,
though we ask that such authors make clear that the software is not
part of the GNU Operating System.

     I'd thank you provide me with some information about a packet called 
   GNU-WINDOWS (for MS-DOS). It consists in:
	   - gnuwin.exe
	   - fileman.exe
	   - progman.exe
	   - *.bgi
	   - read.me

     I also include the read.me.  I'd want to know how it works and where to
   get it, I mean the whole packet (including LIBS and HEADERS FILES).

      Thanks in advance

   NOTES:
	   When GNU-windows starts it looks, and expects to find the standard
	   startup files. This includes both the MS-Windows style files,
	   along with its X counterparts.

	   No change is needed for the MS-Windows programs, which sould run
	   as normal under GNU-windows.

	   X-applications need to be compiled for the IBM achitecture using
	   a standard C compiler, such as g++, and must have the needed
	   changes (as stated in the XtoDOS.inf file) and must include the
	   GNUWIN.H header file.
