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.
