Yup. 20 seconds. OK, so I've just written a piece of code that's crashed the
computer. It takes the best part of a minute to get me up to the desktop
(more if scandisk has to run), and 20 seconds just seems a little too much.
It's an extra click or two. And I have to do this over and over again until
I fix the bit which crashes.

>2) What do you mean with "import all the stuff", what stuff?


You create a project then import the file(s) into it (OK, so it's not called
importing...)

I do. Every time you load up your C file and want to get it to run, you have
to use Options->Directories->Sources otherwise it won't compile (given that
not all of my sources are in the same place). This is the real problem. Why
can't it do this as it loads the file?

Well, the resolution (Options->Environment->Preferences) that I find less
straining on the eyes... The correct resolution for ME.

Nothing, it's just a little bit more to do, that's all. When I did have
DFE95 working, I could open the file, click on compile, click on run and
it's done. I didn't need to create a project, I didn't need to change the
directories. Even though I can't get it to compile anymore, I still use it
to edit my code and then open a DOSBOX and call gpp myself. I find that
quicker than using RHIDE.

But for multi-file projects, RHIDE is king :^)
