Hello,

	I've recently upgraded from OS/2 v3.0 to OS/2 v4.0 and I think the 
following is very important to note:

1) OS/2 v4.0 seems to have the DPMI bug fixes (I assumed the fixpacks 
for OS/2 v3.0 would do this, but perhaps they did not...) This means 
that you no longer have to always set DPMI to ENABLED, AUTO will do 
just fine for RHIDE.

2) Secondly, RHIDE 1.4 and up (especially the betas, 1.4.3 and such..)
kept on terminating after the compiler completed its work. Under OS/2 
v4.0 (I use fixpack 5), this no longer happens. RHIDE 1.4.3 is fully 
functional.

2a) Because of the above, I think it is important to realize the 
problem *probably* lies with OS/2 v3.0, however, many people still use
it (and I can see why.) You should not simply tell them "go upgrade!" 
I would find a way to work around this error if OS/2 v3.0 is detected 
to be running. 
          \---> (This is meant for Robert)

3) If you want to ask me any questions regarding RHIDE's performance 
under OS/2, feel free to ask.

	Thanks for your time and effort,

	Gili
