Borland C++Compiler help
I have followed all the instructions and have double checked them all but when i run the shortcut i made on my desk top it comes up with this.
C:\WINDOWS>PATH=C:\Borland\BCC55\BIN;C:\Borland\BC C55
C:\WINDOWS>DOSKEY /INSERT
'DOSKEY' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
C:\WINDOWS>
Can someone please tell me what i am doing wrong???

You overwrote the path. You need to ADD those directories to the path, not just replace the path with them. Unless Windows has some kind of implicit path that's always supposed to work?
-
>PATH=C:\Borland\BCC55\BIN;C:\Borland\BC C55
The above line should be:
PATH=C:\Borland\BCC55\BIN;C:\Borland\BC C55;%PATH%
Or:
PATH=C:\Borland\BCC55\BIN;%PATH%

Boreland C++
I put this in notepad
PATH=C:\Borland\BCC55\BIN;C:\Borland\BC C55;%PATH%
DOSKEY /INSERT
and saved it in
C:\Borland\BCC55
as
StartBC.cmd
but when i run the short cut from the desktop it comes up with this
C:\WINDOWS>PATH=C:\Borland\BCC55\BIN;C:\Borland\BC C55;C:\Borland\BCC55
C:\WINDOWS>DOSKEY /INSERT
'DOSKEY' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
C:\WINDOWS>
The target for my short cut is
%windir%\system32\cmd.exe /k C:\Borland\BCC55\StartBC.bat

>'DOSKEY' is not recognized as an internal or external command
You might have to reboot as this point. You might try opening up a Command Prompt (from the Start menu, Start->Programs->Accessories->Command Prompt) and typing the command:
HELP DOSKEY

New Problem

Help
how do i find out??? I found it but i can't open it in notepad
-
You should be able to right-click on it in Windows Explorer, and do a Send-To, and send it to Notepad or Wordpad. Or right-click, and do Open With, and choose either Notepad or Wordpad.

I can't. there is no open with i can only send it to different folders

By the way, I would highly recommend you download another compiler. My recommendations for free ones are DevC++ or Code::blocks. These are actually IDEs, but they include a compiler (g++). I enjoy DevC++, but code::blocks is favored by many, and is being updated daily. Here are the links:

>there is no open with i can only send it to different folders
Can you double-click it in Windows Explorer? Once you double-click on it (ilink32.cfg), it should come up with a dialog box so you can choose an editor to open it.

when i double click on it it says
C:\WINDOWS>PATH=C:\Borland\BCC55\BIN;C:\Borland\BC C55;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\Bo
rland\BCC55\bin

According to the FAQ, there is no line with X in this file. It should look like:
