Borland C++ 5.5

I have borland Turbo C++ 4.5, which is fine for DOS-Like console apps, but it can't use any of the newer 32 bit API's....

so I downloaded Borland C++ 5.5, but this doesn't have an IDE..
but a friend of mine downloaded it, and his has an IDE....

maybe I downloaded the wrong thing,
could somebody please tell me where i can download Borland C++ 5.5 compiler with in IDE?


Thanks,
Dennis

If you have downloaded the 5.5 Compiler, you can easily write your program in fx. Notepad, and save it as .cpp or .c
I don't think, that borland gives the IDE environment away for free.... :)

thats what i was afraid of. :(
I have written programs in Notepad before, but I would rather use the editor...


Well, thanks anyway,
Dennis

Ok, I realized I'll have to write my programs in notepad,
and I got everything to work perfect.

everything but....

how do I make windows apps with it?

does it recognize winmain instead of main, and just compile it as windows instead?

I actually don't know....but I have read a tutorial some place, that said it was possible.....
You simply just have to call the compiler with the -tW parameter when you compile.
Ex.
bcc32 -tW mywin32app.cpp

Hope this helps :)

Thank you :D

I think that dev-C++ is the best free IDE tool for creating dos or windows apps. You can download it from:
