I use it for most of DJGPP projects. However, I don't use it for OS
development (which I'm doing with DJGPP soft) because I can not debug OS
code and run it from IDE anyway (especially from windows :).
But RHIDE is really a good thing. You may actually set it up according to
your taste and you don't have to specify compile/link parameters each time
you compile your program. You just create a project, include there all
files, set those options and save it. Next time you run RHIDE, you're all
set and ready to work!

I call RHIDE thru a BAT file which then deletes all junk.

YES! And please read the FAQ more frequently 'coz it really helps.

Currently I don't have those problems because I'm running DJGPP on a new
computer. And on this computer I don't have winNT which is the case for
mouse problems and my video card (well, actually just a chip on the
motherboard :) is different in the sense that I do not experience any
problems with RHIDE anymore.
If you run into these problems, let us know. Or better yet, consult the FAQ
first and if you find there nothing related to the problem, come up here.

Good Luck
