Subj : Re: difficulty with macros in Borland C++ 5.02 To : borland.public.cpp.borlandcpp From : "trevor Arsenault" Date : Sat Sep 06 2003 01:23 pm no worries Bob. I may have been a little deceptive in stating that I'm a begginer programmer I just want the responses as simplistic as possible. As stated before I already have a working version of my code in VC++, however, the conversion to Borland 5.02 has not gone smoothly. It is my supervisors request that I use Borland 5.02 for my assignment but I will appeal to him regarding the use of a newer compiler. As Ed pointed out this compiler is dated and is missing many of the headers required for my project. I am curious as how to view older newsgroup messages as my news viewer only displays back to Aug 7 2003. Is there an archive group I can subscribe to?As this is no longer a question for this group feel free to email me privately to prevent unessecary spam in this message board. Thanks for all your help.
