So far, there is no DJGPP specific IDE for Windows, but may
I reccommend TextPad.

TextPad has the ability to launch make / gcc / whatever with
a single keystroke and capture the output in a window.
You can run your compiled program with another keystroke.

Whenever the compiler produces an error, you can double-click
on the error, and you will be taken to the line in your code
in which the error occurs. It even opens the file if it isn't
open already. Also, if you right click on a '#include "foo.h"' line,
you have the option to open foo.h

At the moment, there's no syntax highlighting, but maybe in the
future? After all, complex RE based search and replace is
implemented.

TextPad has the ability to display line numbers, and wrap text
to the point where it was indented (which means that you don't have
to bother with breaking lines with a RETURN if they're too long.
Text windows can be split either horizontally or vertically so
that you can view the same source 

TextPad's homepage is at http://www.textpad.com/

I personally find TextPad so useful that I haven't even tried
RHIDE. Do many Windows users use TestPad as their DJGPP IDE?
Perhaps it could be reccommended in the FAQ for a Windows IDE?

AE.
