DJGPP programs have special ways of calling each other which get around
DOS's command line length limit. However, this technique changed from
version 2.00 to 2.01, so mixing programs from these two versions prevents
the long command lines from working.

So what you should do is check that you are using the latest versions of
everything - that is in particular bnu27b, gcc2721b, djdev201, and RHIDE
version 1.2 I believe (not certain about RHIDE; 1.2 is definitely
2.01-compiled though).

If you're not sure about any of this, switch to your DJGPP directory,
type: 

dir manifest\*.ver /w > my_vers.txt

and post the contents of the `my_vers.txt' file this creates.
