ok, i don't quite get your question, maybe it was netscape again? ;-)
but lets try, i think you want to know how i ran RHIDE without the
above lines in my autoexec.bat? well, i just d/l'd the required files
and unzipped them to c:\djgpp and double clicked on rhide.exe from
windows explorer. simple, no? 

you'll be glad to know(will you?) that your suggestion above DID work
for me. the thing is, yesterday, i added the lines to autoexec.bat,
saved, and ran the file straightaway and still got the error message.
today it works with no more error message so i realise i should have
rebooted for it to work yesterday. doh! this should be in the FAQ.
maybe it is, i must've missed it.

so now that it works, thank you thank you thank you thank you thank
you and thank you. i'm so grateful now i can compile for free. now i
just have to figure out the intricacies of coding for djgpp. this is
one of those things where you don't stop learning right? :-)
i've already had a little problem with my Hello world! test program.
i wanted the user screen not to disappear after ending so i added a
getch() at the end. this erases my Hello world like i just did a
clrscr(). so i tried again with 

printf("hello world!\n");
printf("press y to quit");
scanf("%c", &ch);
printf("bye");
getch();

after pressing y and <enter>, 'bye' doesn't get printed out. getch()
seems to clear the text on the line of the current cursor. weird.
so anyway, once again, thanks for getting me going with djgpp!
much appreciated. later......
