Is the new borland version a windows application or do you type what you want in a .txt file and then convert it. For some reason I don't think so... but whenever I download it and install it, there's never an .exe file.

When all else fails, read the instructions.

you right your code in notepad or something like that and then u compile it from there, right?
Oh, I see... you want an IDE as well. (Integrated Development Environment.)
I use Borland 5.5 along with a decent text editor (in my case Ultra Edit). This type of editor allows you to customise some of the hotkeys to call DOS apps, such as a compiler. Their output is trapped and shown back in the editor.

DevC++ is a nice free IDE and it comes bundled with the Mingw compiler.......If you can spare 10MB or so on your harddrive, give it a whirl!

I did it... i got borland v. 5.5 running. Thank's for the link. I appreciate it.

www.ultraedit.com It's not free, but it'll last 30 days or so before needing to have a seriel plugged into it.Originally posted by drdroid
