[sword-devel] Information for beginning Windows BCB 6 Developers

[Chris Little]

To clarify, I believe Troy is confirming that BibleCS builds fine using 
BCB6. I don't think he's making a statement about building the utils, 
which may still need project work.

Maybe we should take up a collection to buy Troy a copy of BCB6 so we 
can all move forward and abandon BCB5 as the supported platform. On the 
other hand, I think I can state accurately that BCB6 is going to be the 
last supported Borland C++ environment. I think BCBX is well and dead. 
So it might be best to move on and accept that Borland C++ is entirely 
dead. :)

And BTW, you CAN also use VC++ to build the utils. Or Cygwin. And 
probably MinGW. So if something other than BibleCS was your build 
objective, there are better alternatives to Borland anyway.
