    BorlandC++ 5.5 + gvim

    is there a way for me to call upon the bcc55 compiler within the GVIM so that i can compile the C++ code without the need of going to the command prompt? I'm using Windows XP

    You could write a batch file to do the compiling for you. Or, for that matter, a C/C++ program.

    refer to borland website for info on borland makefile syntax. And make your own makefile. then it'll alone build all your files, with one click.

    I don't know. I don't use gvim. but a makefile would significantly ease up command line compiling
