I have the following files downloaded and unzipped into their directories
using WinZip, I have set the PATH and the DJGPP variables in my autoexec.bat
but whenever I try to use gcc or gpp the dos box dissappears and I get an
error similiar to this in a windows popup telling me the program has performed
an illegal operation and will be terminated, with only "ok" and "details"
buttons on the popup:

=== (popup for GCC/GPP error)

The program encountered an invalid page exception.

Fault location:       0028:49504D4F  (for command "GCC -c chap01_1.c")
Fault location:       0028:454C4C4F  (for command "GPP -c chap01_1.c")

Interupts in service: None

Files I was instructed to download from www.delorie.com/djgpp/zip-picker.cgi
given my requirements.  I have all these zips and have unzipped them.

DOSKEY
===

I'm trying to use it in a Win98 DOS box, on an INTEL P3 550 with 128MB RAM.

RHIDE works okay until I try to get it do do something like compile then the
same error occurs, obviously because it is calling one of these (or another)
.EXE at that point.  If the problem produced any type of error message that
would be a start but it just stops the DOS box dead and jumps back into window
with the error popup.

I'll check back on this thread every few days, so if you want me to give more
information, say what info you want and how to get it and it'll get posted
ASAP.
