Hi,
        Now that I'm in win95 DOS boxes rather than in pure DOS, Rhide 1.4 
crashes during debugging.  Sigh, I loved Rhide.  Tried calling gdb from 
Rhide's tool menu, but get a "-d parameter not understood" error.

        So, on to emacs.  Two problems:
        1) It won't spawn a shell from the Win95 DOS box. (I was going to 
compile/debug from a shell).
        2) DJGPP can't link an .exe file together if GDB is open on that file. 
 So I have to close gdb (and lose any breakpoints I have set), compile, start 
gdb again, etc..


        I was hoping to use emacs as a pseudo IDE, maybe with the help of 
multiple DOS boxes if necessary.  How do you veteran Unix-heads work 
efficiently, what kind of environments do you set up?  Or should I just go to 
Borland?
