Dear Group,

It seems that a large number of questions and problems revolve around
difficulty and errors using RHIDE.  (I think of it as rawhide, an
indigestible toy you give to a dog that it can sit and chew on all day
without getting through it).

A much more user friendly  IDE is DFE95.  DFE95 is a windows style
front-end for DJGPP and other dos-based development systems.  All you
have to do is download the zipped file, expand it into your DJGPP folder
and then open it up (the DFE 95 executable which is easily identified by
its blue and white icon), select view, go down to options,  define the
path to the compiler and debugger and then you can compile and run
programs in a point and click environment.  Say good bye to your rawhide
problems and spend time coding instead of wasting time trying to figure
out how to use rawhide.

You can find DFE 95 at the following link:

I have been using this for a little while now.  It works great.

David Oppenheimer
