- anybody who's worked with Borland C++ (4.5):
-
- I'm having some trouble creating DOS executables from some of the
- programs i've written. If you can help me, I will be greatly
- appreciative. Here's what i've done and what seems to be the trouble:
-
- I write the program.
- It compiles without errors and runs fine in the little window inside the IDE.
- Then i invoke the Target Expert in order to change the target information
- and produce a DOS .exe file.
- Borland produces the .exe.
- I shell out to DOS and try to run the program.
- DOS tells me the program has to run under Windows.
-
- What is up with this? I've tried reading the User's Guide but I can't
- figure this out. I thought that changing the target parameters and
- creating the DOS file would be enough, but apparently there is something
- i'm not doing right. I've tried many different combinations of settings
- in the Target Expert, but this is unavailing. When you read the manual,
- it gives you the impression that working with the Target Expert
- parameters is enough to make the DOS file, but this can't be right.
-
- Any help you can give me would be very much appreciated.
- Please e-mail me if you can.
