Hi All:

Thanks for the help replys!

I got IBO4 to compile Ok with CBuilder 5 Pro. I have not yet made
the source code changes shown below. The problem was that CBuilder 5
just refused to find the obj and lib files. The missing files were
either in the "inter" folder or the $(BCB)\Lib folder, both of which
were in the search path. To get it to compile, I added the explicit
paths to the libray search list: C:\Program Files\Borland\CBuilder5
\Lib\ and C:\ibo4\inter. Now it compiles without linker errors.

Paul: Do I still need to make the source changes?

Thanks again.
Warren
