Pic list, I am a Borland C++ 4.5 user, and I have seen in passing a patch on their web site for an error like you are describing. Something to do with mixing 16-bit DLLs with 32 bit ones (which might be happening when running on NT/'95). If the author(s) of the software is listening you might peruse the Borland web site for this patch. On a related note, I am not a free software nut. But if one is giving away their software (as Microchip sensibly does), why not make the source available too? Imagine adding the creative power of hundreds of obsessed PIC hackers to your software development team.
