Do you mean as an actual Windows NT app that coexists with other NT
apps in a separate window, or as a DOS DPMI client?  If the former,
then the answer is "time".  We'd like to do that after we release 2.0.
I haven't investigated the various NT ports of the GNU compilation
tools, but I've heard they are out there.  If your question is the
latter, then the answer is "if it doesn't work already, then hopefully
1.99l will."

Freudian slip?  :-)

We would be ecstatic if this could be made to work.  It would cut down
on our DOS debugging cycle dramatically, which would free up more time
for other development (e.g. getting the NEXTSTEP port running again,
which is high on my priority list).  Executor/DOS 1.99l should be a
well-behaved DPMI client (using djgpp V2).  I'd be interested in
working with the dosemu folks to get Executor running under dosemu.  I
can tell them exactly what we do and even send them source code
snippets.
