Wouldn't that be sort of ridiculous???? RHIDE uses Turbo Vision, and is
a look-alike to Borland's Turbo C. Turbo Vision is a text mode interface
library, not a true GUI. It would not work in Windows, or at least not
looking the same.

Besides, what is wrong w/ RHIDE? If you want a windows IDE for DJGPP,
use DFE 95. If it's too buggy, use EMACS. I think there is a port of
EMACS to Win32. Try that. As for me, I don't want to see RHIDE become a
windows app. The current interface works quite well.

BTW, a q to throw out to everybody. Is there a X Windows IDE for GNU????
Maybe that could be ported to DJGPP. Especially since there is a current
interest in porting XFree86.
