 TS> Is it just the Borland C libraries or also other C libraries that

Not just Borland, but most CPM/DOS/OS2 compiler libraries from before
year 2k.  And therefore programs written using them.

 TS> Are there any work arounds available or is this it for all Borland C
 TS> Apps?

I don't know of any other generic workarounds.  I did these to cover the
3 libraries used by the last BlueWave software releases.  What I did is
not obvious and is time-consuming to generate.

 TS> All Versions of Borland C ?

No, BW-Y2K16.BAT and BW-Y2KO2.BAT are for Borland, while BW-Y2K32.BAT is
for WatCom.  Read the *.BAT files - the header shows which library each
one works with.  These Copyright strings can be seen in the program
*.EXE file.

 TS> Thanks!

You are welcome, again.   Richard
