To: <djgpp AT delorie DOT com>


Hello everyone....

I just downloaded RHIDE BETA 6 and it solved alot of problems I was having
with BETA 5.  With BETA 5, I had to use CSWDPMI on my 4MB ram system.
BETA 5 frequenctly froze and displayed a TSS error message whenever I
went to LINK something....

But with BETA 6 I no longer have those problems! *8-)

Good work guys!

Now I have an idea that you might want to put on the to-do/to-wish-for
list:

My idea is sort of a C\C++ WIZARD.

By going under a menu item, a dialog box would pop-up and ask several
questions like: "Which Memory Model?", "Include DPMI support?", and
questions about which types of functions from the set of include files
that you would use in the new program.  When you are finished answering
those questions, the WIZARD would create a new source file that contained
all the includes and other code based upon your responses to the questions.

I think that it would be a great feature to have for newbies and experts
alike.  And it would be a feature that none of the commercial IDEs would
have....

So what do you think?
