If you are using Win2K or XP then read on otherwise skip to the next section:- W2K/XP Info: 1) Go and get the Rhide 1.5.0 snapshot from www.rhide.com and then select the snapshot icon on the bottom left or go directly to the snapshot page at http://rhide.sourceforge.net/snapshots 2) Make sure that you are using the latest files from any of the Simtel mirrors. Some of the old zip files are not W2k/XP compatible. 3) There are still issues with Rhide and W2K/XP. The issue(s) once found in all proability will be releated to W2K/XP not being compatible with MS-DOS/W9x at a low level API as have all of the other W2K/XP issues uncovered so far. 4) If you want to know more about the current W2K/XP issues and support then follow the "Current DJGPP status vs Windows 2000 and XP (unofficial)" link at www.delorie.com Dos/W9x/NT 4.0: What OS are you running? What is the output from a DOS "set" command? Does the "info" command work? (It uses the DJGPP environment variable) Regards, Andrew
