SR>Speaking for Borland products, the last of the (dos) IDEs were in
SR>the Borland C++ 3.x series.  When Borland C++ 4.0 came out it was
SR>with a (gui) IDE for Windows 3.x.  Your only choices with BC 4.xx
SR>series or newer is to use the Windows (gui) IDE or compile from
SR>the DOS command line.  Not as much fun as the DOS IDE.  ;^)
One other alternative is to go ahead and purchase the latest version of
Borland C++, which I believe is 5.0 and also purchase a good text editor
such as either Greenview Data's Vedit Plus or Luguru's Epsilon. Both of
these products are shipped with macros that implement a pretty decent
IDE using both their native editor and the Borland command line
compiler. I don't think that either of these solutions will easily
integrate the debugger like the Borland 3.1 IDE does, but they will make
for some decent edit-compile cycles. Of the two, I use Vedit Plus; a
co-op student who used to work with me swore by epsilon.
