Hi,

	RHIDE (for DOS) is multitasking unfriendly. I assume that when RHIDE
is idle it uses:

  while (! (keypressed = KBHIT() ) );
  switch keypressed <etc..>

	or something of the sort. By simply replacing those lines with:

#include <pc.h>
#include <dpmi.h>

  while (!keypressed=kbhit())
    __dpmi_yield();

	the cpu usage goes down from 100% to 1%.. Can you please make this
modification in the next release of RHIDE and/or release some sort
of patch for the current release? Please reply, (sl AT usemail DOT com)

Gili
