Even if you didn't get the "with App Frameworks" edition, you should
have the OWL include files & libraries.  Did you install them?  (The
Borland install program gives you options to leave out just about
everything...)

Protogen works w/ OWL.  One of the setup options in Pgen is whether
you are doing straight C, C++ or C, C++ w/ OWL.  You are correct you 
can't solve this second problem until you solve the first.

Note: I don't use Protogen, I use Object/Designer.
