No, I don't do this. I quit to the DOS prompt, then run GNU make, then my
DJGPP prog.

I use no shell.

Yeah, but I spent DAYS trying to get RHIDE to work, then stopped
struggling. I use TP6 IDE just for the  familiar editing enivironment and
interface. That's all. RHIDE seems too overpowered and terribly complex to
get to work. Sorry if this sound stupe, but I'm still a green newbie :)

Anyway, I was just interested why TP6 crashes the DOS box when run after a
DJGPP prog, but not if the DJGPP prog is run first (no spawing or anything,
normal running of an executable from the system prompt).

Fanx for the reply!
