Subj : Re: Dos style BC for Win XP To : borland.public.cpp.borlandcpp From : Ed Mulroy [TeamB] Date : Thu Nov 04 2004 09:35 am Borland continued to support DOS for years after it was obsoleted and you have all the DOS support that has been offered. I do not understand what you mean when you say that "BC++ 4.5 does not support MSDOS Style graphics". Of course it does. If what you mean is that the IDE does not, yes, that is correct. The IDE is a Windows IDE and has a Windows based debugger. To debug a DOS app select Tools|Turbo_Debugger. As for what is the problem with BC++ 3.1 under XP, at least one of the problems is that BC++ 3.1 is from 12 years ago and the world has changed. There even is a question of if your machine fully supports it. One thing you can try is to start Windows Explorer and find the BC++ 3.1 DOS IDE. Right click on it and select Properties. Click on the Compatability tab and select Windows 95. .. Ed >Steven wrote: >I'm using an old Borland C++ 3.1 which doesn't >work very well with Windows XP.
