Try not loading the mouse driver in your autoexec.bat and see if
that helps or not.  You won't be able to use your mouse in your
DOS box, but RHIDE shouldn't freeze after you start it.

What led me to this work-around was that whenever I ran RHIDE
from dosemu in a DOS box under X, the program would run, as it
should since its emulating raw DOS, but I wouldn't be able to use
my mouse for some reason, while I could with other DOS programs.

Also, this problem of freezing up when running from a DOS box in
win31 isn't specific to RHIDE.  I'm learning C++ using Turbo
Vision right now, and the examples and demos I've compiled using
Robert's Turbo Vision library all freeze up too.  I think there's
a problem with the mouse routines in the TV lib.  What do you
think, Robert?
