Hello, I've noticed that when I run Rhide, and I'm debugging the program,
and my program freezes, or Rhide quits to DOS (for no apparent reason), the
name for the window is left at Rhide v1.4.  I saw some people talking about
it on here and they were saying that you could fix it via the Windows SET
TITLE interrupt call, however this does not work because as soon as your
program quits (any program for that matter), it sets it to NULL, but I found
that Rhide v1.4 is the Virtual Machine Title.  I'm sure many of you have
already fixed it, but for what it's worth, and those who haven't, here's
some short C source for a fix you can call from the prompt.  Just compile
this and place it in the path.  Name it whatever the heck you want.  Once
you run it, it will replace the Window Machine Title to the contents in
Message (change to your suiting).

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <dpmi.h>
#include <dos.h>

char message[] = "MS-DOS Command Prompt";
// cannot be more than 29 characters(29+nul)
void main ()
 {
  int sel, seg;
  __dpmi_regs r;
  printf ( "Restoring Virtual Machine Title to %s", message );
  delay ( 100 ); // to prevent bug from happening

  seg = __dpmi_allocate_dos_memory(2, &sel);

  _dosmemputb( message, strlen(message)+1, (seg*16) );
  r.x.ax = 0x168E;
  r.x.dx = 0x0001;
  r.x.es = seg;
  r.x.di = 0;

  __dpmi_int ( 0x2F, &r );

  if ( !r.x.ax )
    printf ( "\r\n  Could not change Virtual Machine Title\r\n" );
   else
    printf ( "\r\n  Virtual Machine Title Change Successful!\r\n" );

  __dpmi_free_dos_memory( sel);
  exit ( 0 );
 }
