Sorry, can't help you with RHIDE (but others most probably will).

I use Emacs on DOS, Windows 3.X and Windows 95 with no problems, for 
several years.

Sorry, I'm not sure what does this mean.  If Emacs is installed, how come 
you cannot access it?

Not on DOS. DOS doesn't allow a `+' character in file names, so g++.exe 
is an invalid name on plain DOS systems.  Use gxx.exe or gpp.exe 
instead.  (This question is in the FAQ, btw: section 22.1.)

Right, due to many complains, g++.exe was removed from latest uploads of
GCC distribution.

Care to explain why?  The installation should really be easy: just unzip 
the files, set a couple of environment variables, reboot, and there you 
are!
