I have just installed djgpp by unzipping all archives the zip-picker
told me to download. I've set the proper env variables and tried to
compile a few small C++ programs with gcc and gxx. To that point
everything works as it is supposed to. 
But then I wanted to try rhide but when I start it, it just hangs. No
message, no crash, no GPF. Not even rhide -h outputs anything. Even if
I start it under plain DOS (6.x) with no EMM386, DPMI or anything
installed it just does nothing but hang. Isn't it supposed to report
at least some error message about no DPMI present ?
I don't know if this information is very useful but when I started it
under an old version of Turbo Debugger, ran it and interrupted it
after a while with Ctrl-Break, I found it executing the same loop over
and over. The FAQ didn't help me so I'm asking here. Hope anyone can
help. Thanks. MSB
