    After needing to uninstall RHIDE v1.4.0 to replace it with RHIDE v1.4.6
and then put the original back, and finding out that there were no
uninstallers designed for DJGPP (that I knew of), I made my own.  I think it
should be a part of the DJGPP standard package.  It is just one source
file/executable.  It seems to run correctly on my machine, but I ran into a
few snags.  What if LFN is disabled?  How do I know what filename will change
to?  How do I know what the short filename equivalents of the long-filenames
in the manifest will be?  How do I know if "NameNumericTail" is enabled or
disabled?
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    The programs runs fine on a machine with long filenames and DJGPP env.
variable set correctly.  If DJGPP isn't set, it prompts for the directory
name.
