Subject:	Turbo C++ query
Message-ID:	<2E4E995350@fs2.mt.umist.ac.uk>

  (1) Please what is the email address to enquire for Turbo C++ queries? I
tried emailing its manufacturer (...@borland.edu), but they didn't bother to
reply although I had registered my copy of Turbo C++ with them.
  (2) I am writing a Windows application A.CPP, using Turbo C++ version 4.5.
A.CPP duly compiles to A.EXE, which when called from Windows on my PC duly
creates a window and reports what I do with the mouse and the keys, as I
programmed it to. OK so far. But when I copied that A.EXE onto a floppy and
tried to run it under Windows on another PC: If I click File and then Run at
the top left corner of the master window, and call it there, Windows refuses
and says that BC450RTL.DLL is missing. If I call it by finding it in File
Manager and clicking it there, Windows refuses and says that the file or part
of it is missing. (The only file BC450RTL.DLL that I can find in my PC is
D:\TC\BIN\BC450RTL.DLL in my copy of Turbo C++: there is none in my \WINDOWS\.
What does it do?). This is grossly inconvenient, as it means that I can't use
my Turbo C++ 4.5 to write Windows applications for other PC's. Please how to
tell Turbo C++ to produce a proper full independent A.EXE that can run on any
other PC that has an ordinary Windows in???
