Subj : Re: not a valid Win32 application... To : borland.public.cpp.borlandcpp From : "Ed Mulroy [TeamB]" Date : Thu Nov 06 2003 12:36 pm It is good to hear that what I said helped. There is one thing you must do. You are posting in the newsgroup for the old Borland C++ compiler but you are using the free command line tools, the command line tools from C++ Builder version 5. C++ Builder newsgroups all have the word 'cppbuilder' in their name. Your questions really should go into one of those groups so that more people familiar with the product will see them and possibly reply. I suggest that you use the following group: borland.public.cppbuilder.commandlinetools ..
