No RHIDE at all, just makefiles.

When I compile the program from within the console mode where I'm able to 
delete it, then it's still not deleteable in normal windows. I guess in 
that (secured mode) console no other program is active.

Is anyone using DJGPP sucessfully with W2k SP4? I head only small (and 
already reported) problems before, like make stopping before finished etc.

I also tried to use ntlfn, but this doesn't help.
