Hi Naveen

I have been thinking about this off & on ever since I first downloaded your
message
and I have to confess, the fog in my brain is still there, and there is a
big question mark partly uneasy to see due to the fog that is not
dissolving, Is this a new type of "candid camera"? were my reply is put on
TV and someone (host) says this Eric he is a strange dude and everybody in
the studio laughs.

Have I missed something, or is this a variant question to what I asked when
I was doing C++ classes and asked one group "Can you for example take a
header file from Microsoft C++ program (we have at school) and put it into
Borland program (I have at home) and run it" to get my homework to work, the
answer I got was "NO you can not"

Sorry if you think my humor is sick, it is not meant to offend anyone but
someone might ??? take it one way or another, if I am right off target
please let us know, and I will reply if I can without the sick humor.

Hello Naveen

I have found a way to make Dev-C++ 4.9.6.0 use the Borland
BC++ compiler (the one shipped with "free command line tools")
but only for console applications (Windows programming is beyond
my limited skill).

Briefly, the problem is: Dev-C++ issues commands which conform 
to the syntax of gcc, and this is a little different from the 
one expected by BC++. 

My solution consists in using some intermediate program which 
gets invoked by Dev-C++ (in place of the compiler) and does two things:
- translate command issued by Dev-C++ into something BC++ understands
- call BC++ to do the real compilation

Probably it is not the most elegant or fastest solution (as I said, 
I'm no expert), however, it seems to work on my Win98.

In case you are interested, on the page "www.gisan.freeurl.com" 
(hope address is spelled good :) follow the link "dev_bor". I
would be pleased to know if you get it to work on your system.
