Anyway thanks a lot for help.
Amish.
Try cross-compiling with gcc.
How? You mean gcc on Linux can make windows EXE?
I tried DJGPP,
but its missing few API's(rather functions),
like message queues etc.
Try Cygwin.

That's a possibility. What's a message queue? If it's a data
structure, then naturally you have to write it in code.
PS: I'm sitting in a lab with a server named sisko, and winboxen
(dontaed from microsoft) named obrien, damar, bashir, dukat, garak,
worf, dax, kira, etc.

Message queues are a UNIX System V IPC mechanism, and
as such are not a part of gcc or any other compiler
RTL. They are an IPC facility provided hy the OS, and
(at least I think) are not available on Win32 systems.
I would suggest that you implement named pipes or
mailslots, or use some higher level IPC mechanism such
as COM (if you're into C++ and masochism), for this
purpose. If you're looking for a lower level system
on Win32, you can use sockets or even (horrors) DDE.
Anyway, I will check my Win32 documentation today to
see if Windows provides a message queue mechanism and
will mail the list if it does.

GCC is a crosscompiler, so that you can presumably
make it generate PE format Win32 executables. check
man gcc for details.

PPS: Looks like the sysad is a trekkie plus something
else that I can't figure out.

Sometime on Oct 3, Amish Mehta assembled some asciibets to say:
Maybe windows does not support it. I do not know.
