I'm not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but Borland is now offering a freebie download for the C++ 5.5 compiler.

Enjoy!

I got it and have been a little stuck on the ground floor, just reworking my old C apps from days gone by. All Console/command line stuff. Now I'm starting on the curve of building Windows apps from the ground up. I figured that I must use -tW with bcc32, but I have had no joy in adding resources (like menus, etc) with brc32 and brcc32. I would appreciate any help describing in detail the steps to get this right.
I have: X.cpp, X.h and X.rc. I first run 'bcc32 -tW X' and then 'brc32 X.rc', but the menu does not appear in X.exe when I run it. I get a blank client area, not even a menu bar across the top. I'm working from Herb Schildt's excellent book "Programming Windows 98 from the ground up" - chapter 4.
TIA
