Backend Compiler Error
Would anybody happen to know what this
error message is talking about ?

Thanks a Ton
Notice the use of bcc and bcc32.
Why is bcc32 failing ?

A few lines around line 504 of this file might be a start.
Also, do you have any 16 bit specific keywords (like near,far) which are not applicable in 32 bit programs
No, there aren't any 32 bit specific keywords (near, far, ...)
line 504 is the end of the function --> }
It compiles fine with Borland 5.5 (or whatever the most recent version is) at the comand line but borland ver 4.x trips.
And i can't figure out why.

What does the help say?
Internal errors should usually be reported to the compiler vendor, but I doubt that will help for the old version
The end of function is interesting though, perhaps its some kind of internal symbol table overflow - try putting
#if 0
#endif
around part of the code in that function. If that works, then the function is too big to be compiled, so split it up.
There may be some compiler switch which says (if you RTM), if you get this error, then add this switch
