hej!

  why dont you use Visual C++?

  ensure the header files are all imported. output to 386 assembler

  then use a 386->68k convertor.. :)) then use 68k compiler.. 
  then you have a PURE windows environment.. :> (of course it
  is probably bad - microsoft for god sake). 

  you can download one from here:

   ftp://x2ftp.oulu.fi/pub/msdos/programming/lang/8668-101.zip

  cheers.

az.
