If you're used to an IDE environment like Borland or Turbo C, then RHIDE
is a fantastic program!  You still have to get used to the DJGPP-isms,
but that is always the case whether you use RHIDE or not.

If you are used to a command-line environment, then you may prefer to
use Emacs and Make to build your programs.

The bottom line is that there is no "best" way; it all depends on what
you're comfortable with.  :)

BTW, the version of RHIDE available from SimTel (v2apps/rhide10b.zip) is
_not_ the latest - you need to go to
http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/~rho/rhide.html to get the most recent
updates.
