i have borland BC5 and borland C++builder 5 running on the same drive. They operate just fine with very few conflicts.
what exactly is "this and that"?
i do not remember having to change or move anything when i installed either one of these packages.

The bin directory is the folder inside of your borland\bcc55 folder wich contains the compiler and linker. To set it up follow the instrunctions. Just create the .cfg files ( a .cfg file is just a renamed .txt file) and add the lines to them and put them in your bin directory.

hmmmmmmm I did it now that I have that done I need to figure out how to compile with it hm let me see ok I give up any clues

**ArseMan** · 11-02-2001

To compile go to msdos prompt and make sure that the current directory is in your bcc55\bin folder and type:

bcc32 filename

replace filename with the name of the file that you want to compile or the full path to it.
