Hello all,

Did anyone succeed in using the CommonView 2 class library for Windows
developing under Borland C++ ?
I've been using CommonView 2 with Glockenspiel's own C++ translator,
but I can't compile a C++ application that uses CommonView with Borland C++.

It seems that the name mangling algorythm of Borland C++ is different of
Glockenspiel's, and thus Borland's linker can't resolve CommonView's
external references in it's import library (CommonView is implemented as
a DLL named GLCV20DR.DLL, with it's import library named WCXXCER.LIB)

I don't have the CommonView source, so I can't just compile it with
Borland C++.  Is a special CommonView import library required for working
with Borland C++ ?  Are there any other pitfalls in working in this setup?


Thanks for any help,
