This is a common "feature" of DJGPP compiled programs that use mouse when running in WinNT 4.0. If you run such a program and produce a mouse interrupt (by moving or clicking) the program dies (and also kills mouse support for that DOS-box). Starting the program again usually works fine (but without mouse). I've seen this behavior on various programs compiled with DJGPP v2.x. e.g. there is a version of DISPLAY somwhere around that shows similar behavior. There are also some interresting effects if you activate a different window between the two invocations of the program. BTW: Isn't there a commandline switch (-M ?) for RHIDE to make it work better with NT's mouse handler? Ever tried to install NT 4.0 without mouse ?
