Hi there guys and girls:


I am a new user of djgpp and RHIDE.  I read that because the new editor of
RHIDE uses a new keyboard handling, it is sometimes neccessary to change
the default about the keyboard.  It says to read the file readme.key but I
cannot get into the site where I got RHIDE anymore so I do not have access
to this file.

I am having problems with the following simple C program.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

void main()
{
	char s[1000];
	int count;
	while (gets(s))
		count += strlen(s);
	printf("%d\n",count);
}

The problem is that this program goes into and infinite loop because when I
pressed
CTRL-D, s gets the value of \004 instead of the end-of-file (eof).  Since
gets(s) returns 0 only when s is equal to eof the while loop goes into an
infinite loop.  I do not know how to change the default about my keyboard. 
If this is the problem or if the problem is something else.  Can somebody
help me?  

Thank you.
