the file(s) is compiled and an assembler file is created. The program
then interprets the assembler and then "splices" the resulting code into
the running application.

I am currently using the lcc compiler for this, but this compiler does
not have support for __int64 (long long) and long double, which is
becoming a more mainstream requirement. I would like to replace this
compiler with the BCC32.exe 5.5 command line compiler provided free of
charge from Borland (Downloads / Compiler). In addition, I would also
like to consider for inclusion the CPP32.exe also provided as part of
the free download.

In order to be of use with my product, it would be necessary to
redistribute the BCC32.exe and CPP32.exe executables with my
application. These are the only two files required (none of the includes
or run time libraries are needed) as I have means to resolve all the
included run time functions. I would use these two executables as run
time invokations to read an incoming source file and to create an
assembler language output file that would then be read and interpretted
by the application. The sole purpose of the BCC32 interface is to create
assembler from "C" source.

The question is this, am I allowed to redistribute these two files with
my application? I have read the licensing information included with the
free download, and it is not clear about any redistribution of files.
There must be some implied files (or all of them) because it mentions
redistribution and allows applications created with the compiler to be
distirbuted, but does not list any redistribution restriction.

If these files cannot be redistributed, what procedures would I need to
follow to request some form of licensing, and how would I go about
getting pricing information?

Thanks for any help that you can provide.

BCC32.EXE is for you and anyone who has downloaded the program to use.
You can not redistribute BCC32.EXE, it is not yours and it is not free.
A way to solve this problem is by using other free compilers, like
cygwin = http://www.cygwin.org or mingwin = http://www.mingwin.org, I am not sure
about the last one.

Good luck!

First note that this group is for issues re the pre-Builder compilers up
to BC++ 5.02 only. Post Builder questions in one of the ".cppbuilder."
groups. For the free 5.5.x compiler, the best place is: borland.public.cppbuilder.commandlinetools


Reread it. It clearly states restrictions on copying and transferring
the Software. That implies/includes the compiler/preprocessor.


For starters, look for the file deploy.txt.


Contact Borland directly via mail or phone. "Developer Relations"
may be the best department.

Sorry, when I tried the connect to the commandlinetools group, it would
not allow it. I can now connect to it. I still have some questions
regarding the reply given so I will repost the request there for further
clarification.

Thanks for the help.

Sorry, the indicated newsgroup was not available at the time. I will
take this up on the correct newsgroup.
