This is probably a 4dos question, but maybe somebody knows the answer. 2nd question - I then unzipped the file rhide15b-20020829-prerelease.zip, which put the info files into \djgpp\share\info. Previously I believe they had been in \djgpp\info. info rhide no longer accesses them. install-info doesn't seem to do anything either. rhide seems to function, except it can't access help. Should the infopath setting under [info] in djgpp.env be modified? I keep seeing dire warnings about modifying djgpp.env. 3rd question - Does anyone see problems with the above uinstall batch file? I am not using pakke because I don't understand what it is doing. I do understand deleting and unzipping files. -- Chuck F (cbfalconer AT yahoo DOT com) (cbfalconer AT worldnet DOT att DOT net) Available for consulting/temporary embedded and systems.
