Yup, I like DFE'95 too because it has an easy and intuative interface; but
doesn't work for me, either. If it's the same problem I have, it shows up
with a kernal error in redir32. This is a known bug (I reported it), but the
author can't seem to duplicate the problem. So you're stuck.

My suggestion is to try RHIDE, the IDE for DOS. This has an interface
similar to Turbo C++ and is much more powerful than DFE, although the
interface is not nearly as nice as DFE. There are other interfaces around
too. You should be able to find links to them from the DJGPP web site
