I understand, you talked to Borland Customer Service, but I don't understand their response. I see no differences at all between Turbo C 2.0 and the standard C in Turbo C++ 1.0 (except the library additions that I posted earlier). I have a number of programs that I wrote in 2.0 and have since compiled in C++. I didn't have to "port" anything. I just recompiled. (I haven't compared objects so I don't know if there were differences.) I've recompiled a version of PCJOVE with C++ that was written and compiled using Turbo C 2.0 and I saw absolutely no incompatabilities. Maybe they're talking about using the C++ compile option (not standard C). -- ************************************************************************* Chuck Anderson uucp : uunet!isis!cla Boulder, Co.
