- REQUIREMENTS for RHIDE
- ======================
-
- You need DJGPP version 2.01 (or later) to use RHIDE without any
- problems with long command lines. This comes from the fact, that
- DJGPP 2.01 uses an other technique to pass long command lines
- to spawned programs. That means, if you have installed still
- DJGPP 2.0 command lines, which are longer then 126 characters will
- be trunced when RHIDE calls any compiler with that line.
-
- RHIDE runs on raw MS-DOS, in a Window 3.1(x) DOS-box, in a
- Windows 95 DOS-box or under Windows NT in a DOS-box. For running
- under NT you MUST add the '-M' commandline switch to RHIDE, otherwis
- you will get RHIDE crashing already at startup.
- This (or any other commandline switch) can be stored also in the
- environment variable RHIDEOPT.
-
- This is the binary distribution of RHIDE. Normaly the files should be
- installed in the DJGPP root directoy. To install RHIDE, copy the archive
- rhide??b.zip (?? stands for the version of RHIDE, e.g. 12 for version 1.2)
- to this directory and unpack it with
-
- unzip rhide??b.zip
-
- or when using PKUNZIP
-
- pkunzip -d rhide??b.zip
-
-
- ===========================================================================
- WARNING: Because RHIDE uses the gettext library for
- supporting multiple languages and RHIDE can run also under Windows 95
- with long filname support you should take of some special things. If
- you want to run RHIDE only in one environment (LFN=y or LFN=n) you have to
- unzip the archive in that environment whith an unzip program, which handles
- correct the filenames. This is needed, because the gettext library searches
- the translated texts in a directory called 'LC_MESSAGES' and this will
- course problems, if you have created this directory as 'LC_MESSA' and now
- want to use RHIDE with LFN=y.
- If you want to use RHIDE with and without long filenames, you have to unzip
- the archive with long filenames enabled AND the registry of Windows 95
- must be modified (if not already done) like stated in the DJGPP FAQ
- section 8.2.
- ===========================================================================
-
-
- If it was successful, you can now read the documentation for RHIDE in the
- format you prefer. In the directory INFO you can find the INFO-file
-
- rhide.info
-
- and in the directory DOC you can find
-
- rhide.html - the HTML version
- rhide.txt - the ASCII text version
-
- If yout want to get an other format, you need the source archive of RHIDE,
- because they are not part of the binary archive. The other possible formats
- are:
-
- RHIDE.DVI - the DVI version produced by TeX
- RHIDE.PS - the postscript version, generated from RHIDE.DVI with dvips
-
-
- To add the documentation about RHIDE to your main INFO directory
- (that's the menu which is shown, when you call info.exe without
- any argument), change to the info directory (normaly %DJDIR%/info)
- look at the beginning of the file 'rhide.inf' and copy the text
- between the two lines
- START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
- and
- END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
-
- to the file 'dir.txi'. (common usage is to place such an entry in
- alphabetical order) and then run simply
-
- makeinfo dir.txi
-
- Now you can read the RHIDE doc also by running info.exe like
-
- info rhide
-
-
- Whats new since Version 1.1?
- ============================
-
- - Many bugs have been fixed. Please consult the 'rhide_ch.log' file
- for more detailed information about the fixed bugs.
-
- - Improved helpsystem.
-
- - Runs now on NT (but only with the '-M' switch)
-
- - Added support for G77
-
- Have fun with RHIDE
