It is likely to compile with that Compiler; I compiled the code with about 20 warnings and one errors using
"CodeGear C++ 6.10 for Win32 Copyright (c) 1993-2008 CodeGear"

Code:

Error: Unable to open file 'DNEEDLE.DFM'

I am not sure of the cause of the error.

My random guess on the command to compile.

Code:

bcc32.exe -q -w -x  -O2    -I"C:\Program Files\Borland\BDS\4.0\include"  -oobj\Release\dneedle.obj -c dneedle.cpp

NOTE: I never setup my Borland compiler to do VCL projects; so, it could be a simple configuration error.

I have no desire to try doing a VCL project; so, I will not be likely to help you further.

Edit: The last time I used the Borland C++ Compiler on a real project was in 1999-2000 (wrote an DLL that downloaded binary files from an MS SQL 7 server).
Since, then I have only used it to help newbies do command line projects; it has been too long for me to give any good help with a VCL project. I never did a VCL project in my life; just read a little about them when I used the Compiler in 2000.

ill try that comman line, and if its work, ill let you know,
between, where shall i place it?, if you can clear that out for me.

im trying with bordland, but i have windows 7 64-bit, C++ 6

I have no idea how to use them.

Install the correct compiler; try creating an VCL project.
After you figure out how to do that; try to change it to using the files you downloaded.

I have no more answers.
