Unfortunately, up to this point my compilation times are only about 200 LOC / second and I'd like to tweak it further. I was thinking if I ran RHIDE under straight DOS instead of Win95 I could get an environment more conducive to fast compilation. Question #1: How do I get RHIDE to run under pure DOS (not a DOS box in Windows?) When I try I am told there is no DPMI. Is there some freely available DPMI anyone can suggest that does not require the use of Windows? I believe the DJGPP installation is supposed to come with one...perhaps I have it but have installed it incorrectly? Question #2: Do ya think this could speed up my compilation? I figured I should be getting at least 500-600 LOC / second. Thanks, and thanks for the FAQ too Nathan
