- I>I got the book Teach Yourself Game Programming in 21 Days recently, and
- I>the source code was written with a microsoft compiler. It says though
- I>that if you use Borland (which I do) you'll have to make some small
- I>changes but that's about it. The problem is that whenever I try
- I>compiling a program, sometimes it doesn't work and I get wierd error
- I>messages. Or, when it does compile, the program usually crashes pretty
- I>quickly. Maybe its a bug with my compiler, or what. My question then
- I>is, how can I change MS code to work with Borland code (if possible)?
- I>Thanks for your help.

- I haven't seen this book but obviously it is not written in Ansi
- Code or it would work every time. Try using stepthrough first to see
- what is happening as this might give you some idea as to what is
- giving the heebee jeebees to it. Possibly change your compiler
- settings (mine are set for ansi 'c') to a different setting in that it
- might help.
-
- Hope this is some help. I certainly won't buy that book!
