Thanks for that... the installation documentation for DJGPP only refers to
NT, which of course Windows 2000 is. The section on RHIDE states only that
"... RHIDE has recently been released and is now available to all DJGPP
users."

One would assume that 'all' users would include anyone that was using an OS
which could be described as 'NT'. The OS did RTM a year ago, and while the
code may not have been fixed, such issues really should be more clearly
documented.

I need to use Win2k for other software, but in a few months the older 166
will be unused, so I can run 2 PC's next to each other or use a virtual PC
in the mean time.
