Hi,
    I'm trying to compile some code using Borland C++ 4.52 (PCPlus freebie)
and I'm experiencing problems with long filenames - namely, BCPP4.52 doesn't
seem to support them. Is there any way to get it to work properly with LFNs?
    The package in question is "BigDigits" from www.di-mgt.com.au -
BIGDIGITS.H is the biggest problem, with many of the source files also
having long filenames...
    Alternatively, is there any way to get a copy of Borland C++ 5.02 or
later? I really don't want to spend 500 on C++Builder 6 when I'm only going
to be using C++ 5.

Thanks.

The BC++ 4.52 IDE is a Win16 application. Accordingly, it doesn't
have LFN support. By contrast, the BC++ 5.xx IDE is a Win32
application which does recognize LFNs. However, even with 5.xx
when building a 16-bit target app (Win16 or DOS) the IDE calls
16-bit tools which don't have LFN support.

No.

You can try online auctions to find a copy of 5.02.
Note that you can download the command line compiler
and tools from Builder 5 for free from Borland's web site.
Assuming you're trying to build a Win32 application,
it should work for your current needs.

The same online auctions where "over 85%" of software is pirated (I think I
got that from the Business Software Alliance's site - www.bsa.org)
Looks like that's my only option... That and my other two compilers (DJGPP
and DigitalMars)...

And I've just realised that the PCPlus Special Edition of BCPP4.52 has a
license restriction - namely I can't distribute any programs I develop with
it...

Thanks anyway.

Hello,

I know of these sites, which sell old Borland software:
http://www.recycledsoftware.com/
http://www.emsps.com/oldtools/borland.htm

also, it can be found on
http://www.ebay.com/

I don't know if BSA considers these sales illegal.
