Dear developers
I love Borland compilers for its speed and now.... started loving CB IDE ( its far better than Turboc or c++builder IDE)
Is there any plan of supporting bcc32 (version 5.82) shipped along with TURBOC Exploreer
Thanks in advance

Probably you can spend time and add that compiler yourself to make all of us happy :). You can do in throw add compiler in Settengd->Compiler and Debuger. I think here there are enough options to do it. If you will do that I will be alot more happier person :wink:.

a few questions :
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 ?

Yes From http://www.turboexplorer.com/

Nearly all of 5.5 options are still valid I did NOT see any ones that were NOT.

a few questions :
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.

Where did you get that info? It's not true, as demonstrated by the support for the Intel C/C++ or Microsoft compilers.
-
My 2 cents--
- Turbo C++ Explorer IDE has limitations regarding integrating 3rd party add-ons.
- License is granted for over 36500 days, so virtually it's free for life.
It is more like Microsoft Visual Studio Express editions, where the compiler is fully featured, but the IDE is not. I don't think there is any restrictions on the use of it.
Only drawback is you have to install Microsoft .NET 1.1 SDK for proper operation of the IDE, even if you are developing Win32 Applications. Another limitation is you can't install two Turbo Explorer editions on a same PC. :D
-
well for CB to support Borland 5.82, we only need the compiler part of the turboexplorer.
So summary :
1) download turboexplorerC++
2) register so you can get a key (free, but might be limited in time for the borland IDE) [or would the compiler part already work without the key ?????]
3) do the proper thing with hat key (and that is putting it in your profile dir ?)
4) make the borland support already in CB point to the new installed one, that might already do the trick

the compiler works without key too, key is only needed for the IDE

excellent news :-)

The installer doesn't set appropriate environment variables. So after installation PATH variable has to be updated to use the command line compiler.

for CB that should not be a problem, since the bin path and extra paths can be set within CB; so no need to permanently pollute your environment ;-)
