thanks for your prompt reply (I found it on the web site in the archives,
for some reason I haven't received it by e-mail). I don't have much time to
devote to this right now, so I abandoned pursuing the Borland compilation
issue for now. Instead, I gave compiling under Linux a quick shot. I have
Debian Linux 2.2 R5 with XFree86 3.3.6. Compilation fails in graphunixx11.c
with the inability of finding a bunch of headers. While manual fixing of
the setting for the include directory is in order as is pointed out on the
web site, the headers "Xm/whatever.h" just are not around anywhere - there
is no (sub)directory Xm to begin with. QUESTION: What Linux kernel and X
version do you assume to be present? I could go to XFree86 4.1.0 but not
newer because I don't have glibc 2.2 available. Again, if the answer is not
easy, I'll have to abandon this effort for now.
By the way, Borland has, or had, a free compiler for download - just the
compiler version 5.5 which is the one running in C++Builder 5 (they're at
version 6 now), without any IDE. I don't know if their MAKE tool comes with
it; if it does, I could provide you with a make file extracted from my setup
in the full IDE, just for starters ...

I'll take a look. Feel free to put my address onto your mailing list.
Best regards,
