TA>

The Borland C++ for DOS compilers _do_ run under OS/2 Warp, and have done
for years.  As of OS/2 Warp 4, IBM and Borland appear to have come to an
agreement as to the DPMI spec, and Borland's command-line tools now work
without fiddling the DPMI settings.

As for "latest Borland version", read the small print carefully.  Borland
are doing the Microsoft version number scam.  On the side of the box of
Borland C++ 5.0 for DOS, it states that the actual _compiler_ is Borland
C++ 4.52.
