    OK, I've been using RHIDE for ~ 2 years now, and have had very few
problems.  But this one's got me stumped.

RHIDE completely freezes the DOS box when it is run.  No traceback, no
nothing.  I have to click the "X" button to close the DOS session.  The
strange thing is that it works fine if I unset the "DJGPP" environment
variable.  I tried it in BASH as well, and since it already loads DJGPP.ENV, I
have to unset the "DJDIR" environment variable instead.  I've tried this with
both version v1.4 & v1.4.7 with no difference.  I've tried running it from
real DOS, and there are no problems.  So I must conclude that it has to do
with some files that RHIDE loads.  It can't be DJGPP.ENV, because lots of
other programs load that, and they all work fine.  I've tried running it with
gcc 2.8.1, gcc 2.95 and with no compiler at all.
    I tried unzipping "rhide14b.zip" into a new directory, unsetting DJGPP,
then setting DJDIR=that directory and it still crashes.  I have plenty of
memory, but if you don't believe me, go32-v2's output is at the end.  None of
the file were marked as 'accessed' by Windows except "rhide.exe".  I have not
made any modifications to DJGPP.ENV, and to make sure, I restored it from
"djdev202.zip".
    I tried a clean install of RHIDE (without any other packages, including
djdev/gcc), I unset DJGPP, then set DJDIR to the current directory (which was
empty) and deleted all files that came with rhide except rhide.exe.  And it
still crashed!!  But, under these exact same environment without DJDIR set,
then it loads fine (without the macros and such).
    Also, SetEdit works fine... I don't understand.
-------------------------------------------
go32/v2 version 2.0 built Nov 15 1998 14:36:43
Usage: go32 coff-image [args]
Rename this to go32.exe only if you need a go32 that can run v2 binaries as
 well as v1 binaries (old makefiles).  Put ahead of the old go32 in your PATH
 but do not delete your old go32 - leave it in the PATH after this one.
Set GO32_V2_DEBUG=y in the environment to get verbose output.
