RHIDE works Ok for me (both DJGPP and Linux). Which version of RHIDE are You using? I myself am using patched version of RHIDE-1.4.5 (beta) for both DJGPP and Linux. I had rather serious problems with original Robert's 1.4 and after that with 1.4.5. So both times I fixed some nasty things and rebuilt RHIDE. > > The Turbo C IDE supports formats on watches.

There is info how to view data in hexadecimal formats (as I remeber '/x variable_name') Andris
