- This is RSX, the DPMI-extender for EMX and DJGPP programs.
- RSX can run the GCC programs under DPMI-servers like MS-Windows 3.1
- and simulates a missing 387/487.
-
- News in release 5:
- - 32 bit RSX extender default now
- - pipes, software scheduler; 'gcc -pipe' works
- - rsx can run Emacs 19.27 (emx)
- - new emx syscalls (select, bsd signals, pipe)
- - tested with OS/2 Warp; _memaccess() workaround
- - int10 vesa support
- - bugs fixed

-
- WHY USING RSX FOR EMX PROGRAMS:
- -------------------------------
- RSX can run unmodified EMX 0.8-0.9a programs under DPMI 0.9/1.0.
- The compiler and other EMX programs can run in a MS-Windows or OS/2 DOS-box.
- Also RSX supports system calls that are not available under EMX+DOS.
-
-
- WHY USING RSX FOR DJGPP PROGRAMS:
- ---------------------------------
- RSX can run the DJGPP 1.08-1.11 compiler under DPMI 0.9/1.0.
- You don't need a coprocessor, a FPU-emulator will do this job.
- RSX support also ptrace(), signal(), wait(), fork(), spawnve(P_DEBUG).
- If you use the DJGPP compiler only under DPMI, gcc + rsx is faster than
- gcc + go32.
