	Thats would be very nice! I am also a newbie, and I think DJGPP needs to
be more simple in their installation and deinstallation, also in the
maintaining of its components, for example to upgrade from RHIDE version
1.2 to 1.3 without deleting all version 1.2 then reinstalling 1.3 and
reconfiguring all the parameters. It would be nice a good program to
integrate all this thinks in a simple way, with some kind of script
language that can be used by the librarys and programs makers to do
installations and deinstallations and configurations. This kind of program
it is some difficult for a beginer, but maybe some veteran put its hands in
the project and contribute with some and others veterans too. OK, it is
supposed that we are programers, but I think that some automatization and
organization to DJGPP would be very good, and will help the newbies with
some lack of time. This was my opinion. Greetings to all the group!!!
