Subj : Re: Tlink problem: bmdblib.lib - Borland C++ To : borland.public.cpp.borlandcpp From : Ed Mulroy [TeamB] Date : Tue Jun 08 2004 12:34 am I spoke of what the program was, not what the screen in which you typed the commands to build it was. While you may be operating from a Windows console window you are not building the program in console mode. You are building a DOS program. Console mode is a Win32 Console Mode program. Borland C++ 3.1 is not capable fo creating a Win32 console mode program. I do not know any specifics about the library you are using and thing that following what Mr Gonder said is the best course for you to take. ..
