You don't need to downloaded *all* of it!

Yes, RHIDE is designed to be as close as possibe to the Borland IDE.

DPMI is automatic under DJGPP.

You should read the file `readme.1st' available from the v2 directory on
Simtelnet. It is supposed to tell you exactly which files you ought to
download, indicating which are required and which are optional, and for
the optional packages it tells you what they are for.

I would suggest you get the following:

v2/readme.1st, v2/djdev201.zip, v2gnu/gcc2721b.zip, v2gnu/bnu27b.zip,
v2gnu/txi390b.zip, v2misc/csdpmi3b.zip, v2/faq210b.zip, v2gnu/gpp2721b.zip
and v2gnu/lgp271b.zip.

For the IDE, go to http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/~rho/rhide.html and download
RHIDE v1.2c for DOS, binaries.

All the above packages should be unzipped, recreating their directory
structures (pass `-d' to PKUNZIP if you use it), into the same directory,
with the exception of course of readme.1st, which is a text file. Read it
first.

If you have any further questions about the installation procedure, first
check they're not in readme.1st, then check they're not mentioned in the
first few sections of the FAQ (which deal with installation and system
setup).
