If the screen appears to freeze here with a black screen, try this: Press Alt-Tab twice or Alt-Enter, to see if this fixes the problem (it does for me). You might also try the Rhide command line parameter -G and start sticking values in for num, starting at 0. 2) If you are using Rhide 1.4.7, there is an always crash (on my machine) after compiling ANY program and exiting Rhide. This sounds more like your problem. This occurs after you compile a file in a different directory than what you first entered with Rhide. The workaround(s) I found: say all of your files are in c:\djgpp\code. At the MSDOS box, load up Rhide when in that directory. The crash should not occur if you exit Rhide now, after compiling anything in the /code directory. If in Rhide you switch to a different directory, the crash occurs. So, basically, just stick to the directory that the files you want to compile are in. You can make this even easier by just adding "c:\djgpp\code" in the Directory-Sources menu of Rhide, allowing you to be in any directory. If you use a project (*.gpr) this crash does not happen either. If all else fails: Make a windows shortcut to Rhide with the "Close on Exit" option checked, or use a different version of Rhide. Whew! Hope that helps! BP Daniel J.
