Ok, I am a new user of Borland C++, and I have one small question that I
hope anyone here can answer.

I just installed Borland 5.02 w/ the patch onto my NT 4.0 machine. When
I tested a small program:

#include <iostream.h>

int main()
{
cout << "Print this out.\n";
return(0);
}

The program compiled and stared to run, however I got this message at
the end:

"You have accidently used the dummy version of OwlMain."

I was following the Users Manual for this and I've tried doing this
many other ways.
Can anyone enlighten me on this problem. Thank you..

Did you specify a DOS or Win32 console application when you created your
project? The default is a Win32 GUI application that uses the OWL
libraries. Go to your project window, right click the .exe file name,
select TargetExpert from the popup menu, select console from the Target
Model List Window. Alternatively, from within the TargetExpert Dialog, you
can select DOS as the platform.

Good Luck,
Scott

The real dummies are at B, they could have been more direct in telling you
to correct the problem along as they went to the trouble of detecting the
situation. You are doing a DOS example in a Windows targeted project (right
click on project window at head of list and select Target Expert).
