If you are using Win2K or XP then read on otherwise skip to the next
section:-

W2K/XP Info:
1) Go and get the Rhide 1.5.0 snapshot from www.rhide.com and then
select the snapshot icon on the bottom left or go directly to the
snapshot page at http://rhide.sourceforge.net/snapshots
2) Make sure that you are using the latest files from any of the
Simtel mirrors. Some of the old zip files are not W2k/XP compatible.
3) There are still issues with Rhide and W2K/XP. The issue(s) once
found in all proability will be releated to W2K/XP not being
compatible with MS-DOS/W9x at a low level API as have all of the other
W2K/XP issues uncovered so far.
4) If you want to know more about the current W2K/XP issues and
support then follow the "Current DJGPP status vs Windows 2000 and XP
(unofficial)" link at www.delorie.com 


Dos/W9x/NT 4.0:
What OS are you running?
What is the output from a DOS "set" command?
Does the "info" command work? (It uses the DJGPP environment variable)

Andrew
