1) is it free ??
2) could you have a look at the way we support borland (5.5 I think), and tell us if the compile options in there are still valid ?

CB has policy to support only free or open source compilers, then, my apology for posting such request.

bcc32 (5.82) is not free... Its available  only with turboc explorer ( launched few months back )
and Turboc explorer is  not very costly like c++builder or other borland products

Very soon , I will compare 5.82 with 5.5 and list down all the modifications /differences /additions provided  for  bcc32  ( 5.82 )

They just don't like to spend money, is it no longer free? It was a free download a few months ago.
You just was only able to pick one of 4 or 5 choices and get that one free. If you wanted them all or more than one then you needed to pay for it.

They support visual studio 2003 toolkit so it does NOT have to be open source, but they do like to be able to test it without having to spend any money.

stahta01 .... Thanks a lot

I have checked the turboc webpages , still, I have doubts  about the claims of turboc explorer is free.

Free trial key supplied by borland while downloading, was expired and then I had to purchase it.

*************?????????????
OH..NO.... I realized my mistake.......IDE was expired.... still, I could have used bcc32 thru batch files.
(lost  $400 for not imagining .... LOL)

The free key works for me, but I had to use the License Manager to figure out where to place the file. Placing it in "My Documents" did NOT work. I am not sure where I place it, I just open License Manager and pasted my lic file where it was looking. I have 36,000 Days left, I assume I won't out live it.

Note: I got the key with-in days if NOT hours of it being released on the web.

Note: The download does NOT include the key, I had to register with Borland before I could request the key at some website. Then, the key was emailed to me, the key file did NOT look like a key file, it looked like the email message, I requested it a seconded time because I thought they did NOT send it. it's an regxxx.txt file that needs save into C:\Documents and Settings\username for it to work.
