here's a big problem i'm having with RHIDE at the moment. hope someone
can point me in the right direction. i''l start from the beginning(oh
no).

after installing DJGPP and RHIDE, all was working fine. then i
recalled reading somewhere, that if you want to have the same set of
options for all projects, then the options should be saved to
rhide.gpr, the default. ok , done. any further changes i made, i also
saved to this file. up till now, i had only been compiling simple one
source file programs without opening a project, to get the feel of
DJGPP. everything seemed ok. then one day, i opened a project to start
on my new application, and added two .c files to it. compiling,
everything went fine, until i tried to close the project. RHIDE kicked
me out to DOS with a SIGABRT signal and a divide by zero error. then i
couldn't start RHIDE at all and now i get this when i try and run.

--------screen dump-------------
RHIDE internal error. Please send a description of this situation
as most as possible detailed to the author together with the version
you are using. AND VERY IMPORTANT IS THE NEXT TRACEBACK!!!!

i had been playing around with the options a lot both before and
during working with the new project, so i figured that would be the
problem. i tried starting rhide with RHIDE <projectname.grp> and it
worked fine. but try closing the project again, and again a SIGABRT.
i also made a backup of rhide.gpr before i made changes to it, and
rhide starts ok with the old rhide.gpr too. so what is going on here?
do i have to start RHIDE with the .gpr of the project i'm working on
everytime, and not be able to close my project in the IDE and work on
another one? how do i just set the options properly so that RHIDE will
use the same options for everything? i noticed once that an unsaved
file did not use the options i had set until i saved it. this is
stupid since i may be just testing stuff out and may not want to save
a file, but still want it to use my set options. 

to the author of RHIDE, why must the options be saved to a project
file. wouldn't it be easier if it was just a normal text file read at
startup? 

any response on my queries is kindly appreciated.
