Re: [Mingw-users] Program run in ntvdm.exe when run from shell ( under rxvt.exe)

[Paul G. <pga...@co...>]

I think it may be because there are no windows headers in the source code. (linking)
Keith, pls correct if wrong:  if there are no windows headers in the source code than doesn't mingw assume it is running in DOS 
(ntvdm, as I recall, is nt Virtual Dos Machine)?
