The latest version of RHIDE is 1.0, and is available from SimTel as
v2apps/rhide10b.zip.  Robert Hoehne has actually made some improvements
and bugfixes since uploading the current version of RHIDE, so I suggest
you go to his web site to get the updates.

As for assembly, DJGPP is based on GNU C, which uses the AT&T assembly
language syntax.  If you are already familiar with Intel, you'll find
that converting to AT&T is really quite easy; visit
<http://www.rt66.com/~brennan/djgpp/> and look at Brennan's Guide to
Inline Assembly with DJGPP.  You can also get NASM, which uses Intel
syntax and is capable of producing COFF object files suitable for use
with DJGPP.

Hope this helps!
