To: Hello everyone.... I am new to both DJGPP and the C programming language.... I am having some problems getting RHIDE to work on my system. I have a generic 386DX computer with 4MB RAM, a 200MB Hard drive and Trident 8900C Super-Vga card with an SVGA monitor. My first problem with RHIDE is that it will not start in a Windows 3.1 DOS box. I have followed the DJGPP FAQ's suggestions about DPMI memory to no avail. RHIDE simple displays its opening message and freezes completly (mouse cursor and all). Half the time I can't even press CONTROL-ALT-DELETE to reboot the machine. So, I tried CSWDPMI (?) from PC-DOS 6.3 (windows not running) and it seems to work fine with an exception. Sometimes I get kicked out to DOS whenever I choose the help section. Also, if a line I am entering in the editor is more than around 40 characters in length, whenever I press a key, garbage appears on that line for part of a second. RHIDE seems to work fine but I find this extermly annoying and distracting. What am I doing wrong? Is this a reported bug in RHIDE? Is there a bug fix? Is version 1.0 out yet? Thanks in advance, Bruce. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ ______ ______ / o o \ Bruce Locke / o o \ \ / BLOCKE AT VM1 DOT NERIC DOT ORG \ / / \ Forward Addr: BLOCKE AT NYX DOT CS DOT DU DOT EDU / \ \______/ \______/ : : Student at HADLEY-LUZERNE HIGH SCHOOL : : +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
