RHIDE in general is copyleft by the GPL and the terms of it are in the file COPYING. Additional "restrictions" are in the file COPYING.RH. Please read at least those two files (it is hard for me to reproduce this here on the fly). But also here some general notes from. Nothing and nobody can prevent you to modifiy RHIDE and/or port it to an other OS. But only if you want to distribute this to others you should look in the file COPYING.RH about the conditions or an other (in my opinion betther) think would be, that make all the needed changes, send them to me and I will include them in the RHIDE distrib. But please remember some things when sending me changes. - I will accpt only diffs (except for new files) against one of the distributed RHIDE versions. - Make you changes clean and compatible with the current behavior. This means if you add or modify code, this should compile on all currently supported OS's (DJGPP, Linux). And a very last note. I wish you all the best with it, because this will not an easy task, and I know what I'm speaking about :-) Robert ****************************************************** * Robert Hoehne * * Post: Am Berg 3, D-09573 Dittmannsdorf, Germany * * WWW: http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/~sho/rho * ******************************************************
