Well, I just love these kind of problem reports. You'll have to admit, that
"somehow the BC.EXE just doesn't work" is not a very precise description of
your problem, eh?? ;-)
I assume, you get a lot of junk on the screen instead of the proper bc desktop.
Solution for this is to turn on DOS_DPMI support (instead of auto) in the
DOS settings of bc.exe. And, if this was the cause for your problem (and even
if it was not) please DO read the README file. (On the other hand, the README
of OS/2 2.1 beta doesn't mention Borland, now does it?? Hm..)
