Borland compilers are happy with C code.  They way you configure them to
comple as C instead of C++ is to make the file name extension .C instead of
..CPP

See if this page helps with creating your DLL.

If not, then try entering at the beginning of the sequence:

Note that what you are using is the set of command line tools from C++
Builder version 5.  You are not using the old, 1997 Borland C++.  C++
Builder groups all have the word 'cppbuilder' in their name and questions
about that product are seen by a larger audience of people familiar with
that product if they are posted in a newsgroup related to the product.  For
example:

  borland.public.cppbuilder.commandlinetools
