Hello-
   I posted here a couple days ago about a problem I was having using RHIDE
with DJGPP.  The problem was a error that came up when trying to compile any
program.  It says it cannot find crt0.o.  I read through the FAQ and README.1st
file for answers, and found some.  But I was not fixing the problem correctly,
here's why:
   When using Win95 (as I am) you can spawn a DOS window or you can actually
get out of windows and go to real DOS, like you could with 3.x.  Well, I guess
win95 and real DOS each have an autoexec.bat file.  So I went into real DOS and
edited the autoexec.bat with the edit command and entered in the lines that are
in sec. 8.1 of the FAQ.  This did not work.  So I get back into windows to open
the autoexec.bat and see if I could edit it, only to find that it is completely
different.  So I enter the lines in there and try to save, but its write
protected.  You can undo this by finding the autoexec.bat in the explorer and
RIGHT-clicking on it, and unchecking the Read-Only box.  BTW, you can edit that
autoexec.bat in Notepad.  After adding the lines and saving it, RHIDE and DJGPP
worked fine for me.  
   Maybe this will help other people starting with DJGPP & RHIDE get it up and
running...
