Why are you twisting yourself in knots? It's not worth it. Go to 3.1
and make certain that the development system you use works under it
and supports it's features. If not, you should trash it and use a
different one. Both MS and Borland have quality environments that
don't require you to endure all the pain you are talking about (note:
Zortech may also, but you'll have to call them to find out.)

And now I can tell you that I don't practice what I preach, because I
develop in Actor, and have too big an investment to switch until
Symantec forces me to. Hopefully they won't do something nasty like
that.
