Hi Matthew,

ML>Does anyone know if it's possible to run Borland C++ 3.1
ML>for DOS under OS/2?  I've installed it and am trying to run
ML>it, but I just get repeating screens are garbage, the only
ML>words that can be made out are "ADD SPECIAL FUNCTION
ML>IBMCACHE.COM IBMCACHE.SYS"  I'm trying to get C++ working
ML>so I can work on my school work at home, but I have no clue
ML>how to get it running.....any suggestions would be nice,
ML>thanks in advance!

Yes, it runs. Because of a pecuiliarity in the way Borlands DPMI works
you have to set DPMI to ENABLED instead of AUTOMATIC.

For more details about running Borland DOS compilers under OS/2 the
OS2DOS echo is the right place.
