- I have Borland PowerPack for DOS, but I don't have Borland C++. I have
- Turbo C-- for Windows 3.something. I managed to get PowerPack to work
- with TCWin by replacing C0WL.OBJ with C0X.OBJ. Almost every library
- function works (including the RTM-specific functions). I was wondering
- why system() is causing symbol-not-founds on _getswitchar. I noticed
- that there IS a function __getswitchar in the library, but not
- _getswitchar. This problem is apparently not associated with the fact
- that I'm using PowerPack. Creating a regular Windows program won't fix
- the problem (even if it did work it'd probably crash anyways). I noticed
- that my CL.LIB from TC 3.0 for DOS doesn't have this problem with
- system(). I don't understand protected mode that much, so I don't know
- if *'ing (using LIB's * command) GETSWIT (the module name?) will cause
- hidden bugs or not, as it is the DOS version, not the pmode version.
