Hello everyone;
I'm also just another computer person trying to learn
something useful, but it seems that right off the bat,
I get stumped and hindered by what seems to be a
simple problem :(

Anyways, yes, I have read the readme.lst and followed
whatever it said several different ways.  My problem
(I think) is related to the environment variables or
what not, because the entire time i've tried to 'make'
a program, rhide always says "Bad command or file
name".
First, I found out that the version of DJGPP/rhide I
had wasn't compliant with Windows XP Pro (which is
what I have).  So I downloaded that and then followed
the instructions on installing it.
However, after trying to 'make' a program again, I got
the same "Bad command or file name" in rhide...

So then I got to searching the mail archives for about
half an hour or so, and found an email that seemed to
have to same exact situation as me.  I looked for a
reply to it though, since that's what would help me
ultimately.  I eventually found a reply that said
WinZip messes up the directory order when unzipping
the files, and that it was needed to use unzip32.exe
to unzip the various files to make them function
correctly.

Next, I then got unzip32.exe, but I didn't know
exactly how to use it, because double-clicking it
wouldn't do anything.  I then 'found' out a few
minutes later that by right-clicking a zip file and
choosing the 'open with...' feature, I was able to
unzip the files that way with unzip32.exe

Even after doing all of this stuff, the 'bad command
or file name' message in rhide still shows up.  For
more info, this is how the environment variables are
like:
the DJGPP variable- C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV
the Path variable- C:\DJGPP\BIN (along with other
things that were there already)

Is there a simple solution to my problem I hope?
Thanks for reading all of this and in advance for
giving me an answer :)

-Eugene C.
