What does the program do on other PCs?  And how do you run it on your
PC?  Do you run it from the DOS box's command prompt, or in some other
way (e.g., from within RHIDE)?

Can you compile the program both ways, each time under a different
name, and then show a directory listing with the results?

I suspect that the program compiled under RHIDE was not linked to be a
stand-alone DOS executable, but only a COFF image that Windows cannot
run.  If you answer the questions above, I might be able to see if my
suspicions are correct.
