I've been doing some continued work on this problem. I've found that
everything works great - IF YOU STICK TO LFN ALL THE TIME when you
create files. As soon as you name a file according to the classical DOS
8.3 format in Rhide, you end up with a filename in UPPERCASE.
Consequently these files won't show up in the "Project-Open" file list
box, or in "File-Open" list box - and they won't be compiled either. It
would be wonderful if this restriction could be overcome, cause then
Rhide would work exactly as in Win9x !(with Wojciech Galazka's fix added
though)
