I found a little bug which is pretty serious when running under a win95 dos
box..

when i run under a WINDOWED dos box, then go to full screen, and then quit
RHIDE, it seems that RHIDE tries to restore the video state, but fails
MISERABLY.. it seems to actually make the entire screen go light blue, and
stay that way until i do a COLD boot of my system.

I have a Cirrus Logic 5429 video card.

This does not, however, happen to me when i run RHIDE under a full screen,
then switch to windowed and exit..

just very annoying.. (:

I think it must have something to do with the VESA routines to save/restore
the video mode... (or some other save/restore routines).. i have yet to be
able to re-compile RHIDE so i can't fix it myself.. please help! (:
