Contending with Borland C++4.0 >
Borland C++ Version 4.0 and later is radically different from Borland's
earlier C language packages. Primarily, Borland C++4 is a Windows only thing.
It only creates Windows programs. And unlike MS-V C++, it is extremely
unforgiving if you try to write a meek old DOS program. You have to use it at
the DOS prompt. Forget Windows. Forget the pretty Borland C++ programs.
Forget what you spent for this turkey.
Before starting, make sure that you include Borland C++'s subdirectory on
your DOS search PATH. The directory that you want is \BC4\BIN. So if that is
on drive C:, you want the search path to be path=c:\dos;c:\util;c:\bc4\bin
The second thing to do is create a batch file that will help you
automatically compile your programs. Use a text editor to create this batch
file in your \bc4\bin directory..
at ECHO OFF
BCC -IC:\BC4\INCLUDE -LC:\BC4\LIB %1
Save this as CC.BAT in your \BC4\BIN directory. You can now use the compiler
at the DOS prompt.
At the DOS prompt use the CC command to compile and link your bot.c program,
c:\CC bot.c and you must use the source files extension .c or the program
will not be created. The CC batch file runs Borlands C++ compiler and linker
and if everything goes as planned you get your bot.exe file.
