Ahh ok, that makes sense too. I never used RHIDE, so I can't help you
here :)

Often, we learn by helping others, and in this case it's true (though I
doubt I will ever use RHIDE, so my newly acquired knowledge will be
sleeping on one of my neurons for a long time, but still, you get the
point:) That's what I love about the DJGPP community: everyone is there
to help :) the technical support is worth alot more than the price of
most commercial software.
