Ok I dont have answers for you but a little experience
Dos 6.2
1) I've had rhide lock if during complile I click the mouse
on the menus.  I'd consider that a bug but I just don't do it
anymore.
2) On a machine with limited memory C++ programs can take
forever to compile- the program is still active though nothing
appears to be taking place.  Then if you try to take any action
-crash
3) If in rhide you do have a crash it can screw up the grp file
leading to various instabilities including a bad evironment
after exiting.

4) As far as borlands make (I know it doesn't apply here but,
for the record) borlands dpmi is totaly uncooperative with
djgpps.  I was assuming rhide ran make- (-anybody- does it?)

5) The version stuff I thought Important for a post but
I'm not one of the people quallified to assess it.

I retitled this reply with (rhide added to attract the right attention)

Good luck

Charles
