I had a MicroSoft compatible library which I wanted to use with
Borland C++.  The tech reps at Borland (before I bought the package)
said that it should work by modifying their startup code, and gave me
directions on how to do it.  I bought the package, and the library
linked with _no_ modification to the startup code.  Borland said that
most libraries should link as long as they don't use floating point;
Borland and MicroSoft use different internal representations.
