It could be that you need the BWCC.DLL in memory when running. Turbo C++ for 
Windows automatically loads this DLL into memory(and thus unloads it 
afterwards). To load the .DLL from your program, include a call to 
BWCCGetVersion() in the beginning of your program. It is defined in BWCC.H.

I hope this will solve your problem.
