Running Borland C++ in windows 3.1
==================================

Some useful tips to get it to work if you've got the windows sdk
(or a "friend" has...)

TDW
 copy windev\cvwin.dll  to borland\bin\windebug.dll

Winsight & Dr Frank
 copy windev\toolhelp.dll  to borland\bin\toolhelp.dll


When compiling code under win31 the old header file works ok 'cept you 
dont get all the new stuff for which you'll need a new set of header files.

Some changes to MS's header file are needed for BC++ compatibility
and backwards compatibility too.

These changes can be found by diff'ing the old & new files


 Most significant: win31 has

	 typedef WORD unsigned short	
 and not
	 typedef WORD unsigned int	//win 3.0



 while currently the word sizes are the same, the compiler
 complains when you've been mixing pointers to these or mix
 WORD and unsigned in code. Redefining this to its old version works ok.

 Trying to rebuild owl doesn't work with my modified header file,
 that's something which I'll leave to Borland

 NB: my dos IDE seems to crash if you hit any key while saving now -
 this may be related to the upgrade of smartdrive/emm386/himem?
