Hello all,

I've tried everything listed in the FAQ to speed up my compilation (I'm
using a spare dinosaur computer as my build machine...AMD 133MHz with 36 MB
RAM).  Unfortunately, up to this point my compilation times are only about
200 LOC / second and I'd like to tweak it further.  I was thinking if I ran
RHIDE under straight DOS instead of Win95 I could get an environment more
conducive to fast compilation.

Question #1: How do I get RHIDE to run under pure DOS (not a DOS box in
Windows?)  When I try I am told there is no DPMI.  Is there some freely
available DPMI anyone can suggest that does not require the use of Windows?
I believe the DJGPP installation is supposed to come with one...perhaps I
have it but have installed it incorrectly?

Question #2: Do ya think this could speed up my compilation?  I figured I
should be getting at least 500-600 LOC / second.

Thanks, and thanks for the FAQ too
Nathan
