Introduction

Back in 1984 Borland Int. had released the last version 2.0 of their Borland C/C++ for OS/2 Compiler. It came with OS/2 2.0 header files and documentation. That seems to be very outdated.

In my opinion the Borland compiler is a good compiler for beginners or small projects. It has a nice GUI and the great Ressource Workshop. But we have to deal with these problems:

First, the headers had no knowledge about MMOS2, so it isn't possible to use any of the MMOS2 Functions with the original files. Second, IBM had changed several things in the header files back in Warp 4 days. Since then, the Borland Compiler isn't supported anymore in the headers.

But believe it or not, were's a will there's a way.
