Once you have all of this, mount the Borland C++ 5 ISO and install the full edition to c:c5 (you can install Borland's Database Engine, if you want, but we won't need it). Since we'll be dealing with Borland's Turbo Assembler (TASM) syntax, we'll also wantBorland Turbo Assembler v5 User's GuideBorland Turbo Assembler v5 Quick Reference You'll also need Borland C++ 4.52, since the C0NT.ASM of 5.02 is too different.Īgner Fog's (TU Denmark) guide on Calling Conventions - this one will be invaluableīorland's Open Architecture Handbook aka BC4BOA.zip close enough to give us some information at least.
