somebody told me it's bad to use borland coz the code will be incompatible because borland renames all the functions to something it just made up by itself. besides that i have a bad experience with borland because it chews up code every so often and then you have to rewrite it or go to a backup copy.

I'm using farmalloc etc., if anyone would like to help I can email you or icq or something you the file (requires a non-protected mode dos compiler, like turbo c++ 3+)
