The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows 3.0

This article was previously published under Q79532

SUMMARY

To successfully run the Borland C++ 2.0 protected-mode compiler (BCX.EXE) under Windows, load TKERNEL.EXE at the MS-DOS command line before you start Windows. Use the following parameters:

TKERNEL hi=yes kilos=nnnn

where nnnn represents the number of kilobytes of XMS memory for BCX to manage. Borland recommends kilos=2048 (see page 5 of the "Borland C++ 2.0 User's Guide").

After loading TKERNEL, run Windows in standard mode (WIN /S) or in real mode (WIN /R), and then run BCX.EXE.

NOTE: BCX.EXE cannot be run under Windows in 386 enhanced mode. Run BCX in Windows standard or real mode only.
