Ahh ok, that makes sense too. I never used RHIDE, so I can't help you here :) > So basically, your comment was not at all helpful!

Often, we learn by helping others, and in this case it's true (though I doubt I will ever use RHIDE, so my newly acquired knowledge will be sleeping on one of my neurons for a long time, but still, you get the point:) That's what I love about the DJGPP community: everyone is there to help :) the technical support is worth alot more than the price of most commercial software. .(Trancelucid). .
