Dear DJGPP,        
	In my C++ class at my highschool we run Windows NT 4.0 with the MS
Visual C++ compiler. simply put, I hate it. so asked teach if I could use
DJGPP, she said I could. so the next day I downloaded it (in 5 minutes via a T1
over a 10/100 LAN!!)then I got sysadim (teach) tomodify environment vars, due
to my simple user status.Then I made a simple prog that just displayed "hello
world", for tesing purposes. Compiling and linkingwent greatly but when I tried
to launch then dosshell from RHIDE  screen turned black and I had to click "end
task" to make it stop. I then tried to run the .exe file itself but windows NT
still did the same thing. The program will compile and run with MS visual just
fine, in the class we compile Windows console applications (32-bit DOS extended
progs. that require MS's 32 extender and woun't work w/out it.) Anything that
could point me in the right direction is highly appreciated.

         Thank You Very Much,
                 Peter Robbins
