They will work fine if you only use the IDE's.  But if you are using the
command-line compilers, then the first one in the path will always take
precedence.  On my system, the BCB path is first (because I use it most), so
when I generate makefiles for my old BC++ 5.02 projects, I always specify an
explicit path to the compiler.  For example, in my BC++ 5.02 makefiles, I
always change from:

BCC32   = Bcc32 +BccW32.cfg

to:

BCC32   = c:\bc5\bin\Bcc32 +BccW32.cfg

because if I don't, MAKE will try to use the BCB compiler, which won't work
on my BC++ 5.02 projects.
