And guess what. RHIDE works again. I really don't know what's the problem. I think I should download RHIDE sources and remove redundant things, such as gfx mode changing. It will work..... Btw, why not to add a command line option that disables all the mode switchings inside the RHIDE? This will solve all the problems and RHIDE will work normally in 80x25 mode. bye. Alexei A.
