I am having lots of problems with RHIDE. Having searched this group,
my experiences don't appear to be typical, so perhaps I am doing
something wrong. I realise that some of the problems may be due
to the compilers etc.

1) If the project contains .asm files, RHIDE correctly invokes NASM.
However, after several compiles, NASM reports not being able to open
files. Exiting and reentering RHIDE fixes this.

2) With PASCAL projects, the project file appears to regularly get
corrupted. Even loading the project can kill RHIDE. Clicking on any
make option causes RHIDE to exit to DOS. Recreating the project is required.
Even with valid project files, "Build All" regularly kicks me out to DOS.

3) If I include a c file in a Pascal project, the pascal files are compiled
with debugging on and the 'c' files are compiled with debugging off. If I
need to debug the 'c' code, I need to manually compile the 'c' file so
it compiles with debugging on. That is, if I select 'compile' when a 'c'
file is the current file, it compiles with debug on. But if I make the
project, any 'c' files requirin re-compilation are compiled with debug off.

4) My machine regularly freezes on exiting RHIDE.

5) I also seem to have lots of problems if I load a second project within
a single session. I have learned that when I want to swap projects,
I exit RHIDE and restart with the new project.

The Turbo C IDE supports formats on watches. In particular, I find the
,h (hexadecimal) format extremely useful. Does RHIDE support hexadecimal
format on watches. Can I do a hex dump of memory from RHIDE? This is
essential for looking at byte arrays which are always displayed as strings.

thanks
