I don't know if it will be of any help, but I can link DOS app's under XP
without any problems from within IDE and from DOS box without any problems
with BC 5.02, all valid patches applied. I do not have any ".pif" files in
Windows root directory besides _defualt.pif (*) and I have not altered
"config.nt"  or "autoexec.nt" files in "Windows\System32" directory. Anyhow,
I have attached all files zipped in "borland.public.attachments" newsgroup
if they will be of any help.

(*) I have no idea what "_default.pif" is for. Looking at it I think I
created it sometime in the past for whatever reason as it starts
"_default.bat" - which is missing. I imagine you don't need it at all but
have no time to investigate. You never know if Bill is around :-)

I suppose you already know that but - you do not have any long names in
Borland C++ install directory and/or in your project, right? And
BTW, Turbo Debuggger (stand alone) shipped with BC 5.02 works just fine with
DOS apps under XP.
