1. A company called DinkumWare  produces C and C++ libraries for many
compilers. They wrote ther C++ compiler for MSVC 5 and 6, and may have a
version that can be ported for use with BC++ 5.02.
(http://www.dinkumware.com)

2. The Borland C++ Builder 5.0 compiler is available as a free download from
Borland's site, and a guy named Jogy has produced a free add-in for BC++
5.02 that allows you to integrate this into the BC++ IDE
(http://www.jogy.net). Note that he also provides instructions for patching
the BCB libraries so as to remove a couple on bugs in the memory allocator.
If you use OWL, you may wish to download OWLNext, a version of OWL that may
be compiled to run under BCB 5.0 (http://www.owlnext.org).
