    You are either missing a .lib file to link with or you forgot to include a header in your source.
    While you're breakin' down my back n'
    I been rackin' out my brain
    It don't matter how we make it
    'Cause it always ends the same
    You can push it for more mileage
    But your flaps r' wearin' thin
    And I could sleep on it 'til mornin'
    But this nightmare never ends
    Don't forget to call my lawyers
    With ridiculous demands
    An you can take the pity so far
    But it's more than I can stand
    'Cause this couchtrip's gettin' older
    Tell me how long has it been
    'Cause 5 years is forever
    An you haven't grown up yet

    I see no pics

    My guess is that BC4.5 is a DOS compiler, and you're compiling a DOS program.

    BC5.5 is a win32 console compiler, and many of the old DOS API calls have gone. If you really want an effective answer, then you should really be looking to port your code to the newer environment.

    It's not a legitimate free download as far as I know.

    Perhaps you should try ebay or maybe even Borland themselves - they have their own community message board, much like this one.

    Real Mode or protected mode ,borland ver5.5

    hi

    Can the Borland 5.5 produce code in REAL MODE, large model or does it only compile to protected mode code?

    thanx

    As far as I know, this is only a win32 console compiler.

    Sooner or later, you're going to have to let go of the past and get a more up to date compiler for your more up to date OS.

    Try www.compilers.net for some free compilers

    but the problem is the test program i am trying to compile in the book microc/os-ii by jean labrosse says i have to use a borland 4.5 compiler .

    but when i managed to compile with 5.5 , there is a error sayin the exe is not a valid win32 application

    how else is it possible to run this exe or is there a way to compile this program with ver5.5 , making it able to run in windows
    thanx

    Have you been to http://www.ucos-ii.com/ and checked out the ports? There was this document.
    7. It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
