If you still have DJGPP 2.0, I stronlgy recommend to update it to
2.01 by installing at least all the needed archives mentioned in
readme.1st which are relevant for your usage.

For RHIDE I recommend it also, since you are using version 1B, which is
very old.

Otherwise for RHIDE it is normally needed to update only the
binary rhide.exe, BUT then you have not an updated documentation,
maybe also not the updated language files and so on.

In general: Updating to a higher version by installing
only some few files from an archive will bring in most
cases problems, except you know excactly what you are doing.
