- I just spent the afternoon attempting to install BC V5,0 on to a using Windows 95. 20M ram, installing to a network drive with over
- 1G available, cpu 80486DX2. I kept getting the message file xxxxxxxx.xxx in use will try a delayed install. The problem seems
- to occur when the subdirectory above the needed one does not exist. That is file bc5/source/owll/stuff.cpp is in use appears to
- occur when the bc5/source directory does not exist.

- I had hoped to find an e-mail address for borland that was for installatiion problems of BC 5.0. So far no luck.
- Do anyone know of a good address for installation problems?
