I had this problem also last summer (Version 1.0).  I called the Borland
folks.  They told me what was wrong and how to cope with it.  The problem
is Borland's tlink.  The solution that the Borland folks recommended is
to use a recent version of Microsoft's link.  I did and it worked.  Keep
in mind that without using tlink, you have to use command line mode
instead of the all in one environment.
