Thank you. In Windows98SE, I have a shortcut that executes a bat file. The bat file sets the PATH and then DJGPP env variable to point to djgpp.env; then it executes setdjgpp with "\djgpp" and "/djgpp" as arguments. The last line in the bat file is "rhide". The problem is this: after coding, running, debugging, and exiting rhide, I see a "thread" reference with no stats (using wintop). If I enter/exit rhide many times, I will see another "thread" entry. These take their toll on system performance. I must reboot to clear these zombies. If you have experienced this, how did you prevent this from happening? Thanks, in advance. Regards, Slim.
