Hello,
i'm [trying] to use RHIDE+DJGPP under XP, but there are several problems.


Most important - I realy like to work in Dos-BOX (instead of full-window), 
but in that mode, even on Athlon 1,6 512 RAM  RHIDE (and all dos programs) 
work terrible slow - text mode screen is refreshed about 2 times per 
secdond with makes work very uncomfortable.

Also - the colors are little different.

Is there some work-around ? (I guess not - probably this is fault of WinXP)

Anohter idea - I wounder will it be possible to write some hmm program that 
will a Dos 32-bit program (RHIDE, DJGPP programs) and will take care of 
displaying textmode (maybe read A000 of program conventional memory, and/or  
take care of BIOS interrupts for displaying text) ? Maybe some path for 
Dos-Box in XP is already made ?
