FYI:

I have discovered a bug in TLINK for BCPP 3.1. This has been confirmed
by Borland. The bug is that you cannot create a FIXED code segment
with BCPP.  Normally, and according to the Windows SDK, you would use
the SEGMENTS directive in the module definition file for a DLL or EXE
to declare a specific segment as FIXED. After much frustration, and
many failed attempts to discuss this with Borland Tech support, Borland
confirmed the problem. The Segment is marked in the DLL/EXE as being 
discardable. (I have discovered a work around, but it is both painful and
forces one to perform a lot of overhead. If anybody is interested, I will
give them my work around.)
