Ok, as if I haven't annoyed everyone enough already, here's the final
scoop: the thing isn't generating any object files at all. The same
thing occurs both from inside RHIDE and from the command line. In
RHIDE, under the conditions I mentioned above, a message is generated
("There were no errors") that seems to indicate a successful compile,
but it's a bogus report. I get nada. Zip. Zilch. Diddly squat nuthin'.
I found an old report--circa May of '92--in the djgpp mail archive
that seems to refer to the same problem I'm having, but unfortunately
no reply was to be found there. Search the archive under "compiling"
and look at the next to last item in the list (name "duperval") if you
want to read the original post.

This makes no sense. Sorry about it. I thought there was a file CSDPMI
that's different from CWSDPMI. 

Anyway, for what it's worth, here's the stuff requested in the FAQ (I
guess I need to mention at some point that I'm running under Win95,
too, don't I?):

AUTOEXEC.BAT:

SET DJGPP=C:/DJGPP/DJGPP.ENV 
rem - By Windows Setup - C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD000
SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\WINDOWS;C:\;C:\DJGPP\BIN

CONFIG.SYS:

DEVICE=\DEV\TAISATAP.SYS /D:MSCD000 /N:1

GO32-V2 yields:

DPMI memory available:
  45,743
DPMI swap space available:
  28,873

I have no ENVIRON.LST file that I can find. A file search of my hard
drive turned up no match. 

I get no output of any kind when I use the -v switch at compile-time.

Other stats: AMD K6 200MHz MMX processor, 64Mb RAM, PCI Bus

Thanks for any help or suggestions.
