Hi folks!

How of you guys have (or had) Borland C++ ? How many of you found
frustrated by the performance of the compiler against Microsoft and now
(even better) gcc/egcs ? Or just frustrated of limited STL support in BC
4.5... (I know 5.0x are fully STL-compatible and even maybe standard C++
compatible, but that's not the point!)

I *know* RHIDE and other free IDEs are out there. I don't want to use
those. Some of you say, why? it's free! Well, I have paid for Borland
stuff and I must admit I like it... if not *love* it :) but the compiler
isn't satisfying me anymore when I know free compilers are out there and
beating Borland's.

I know I'm not the only guy on that planet who'd prefer to debug
GCC/EGCS/DJGPP/whatever  binaries in Borland IDE or plain Turbo
Debugger. If one of you guys know how to do that, please let me know!!!

Status of my research...

1. I need to configure Borland IDE to use GCC with C/CPP files. That is,
set gcc as my C/CPP translator. Probably no prob there but haven't tried
it yet.

2. Need to configure Borland IDE to parse output from GCC (like in
Codewright) *OR* use a perl script to adapt GCC output to Borland
format. I do not think that would be a problem but sincerly haven't
tried it. Anyone did?

3. Have Borland to read debug .o files OR have GCC compile borland debug
.obj OR have the debug .o converted to borland debug .obj

Oh, BTW, I'd like to integrate NASM as well... :)

Any help appreciated but please no "Use linux and dll, use RHIDE, etc
etc etc".

If I ever get it done and any of you are interested, just let me know.

Thanks in advance for you help!
Francois Jacques
