This is an old and horry problem with C comiplers and linkers. The Borland
C++ is automatically assuming that any external reference is to have an
underscore prepended, while the MS library file was built without that
turned on.
I suggest figuring out what #pragma or declaration can be used to create an
external reference from Borland C++ that doesn't have the underscore
prepended. It is in their, and I have used it many years ago, but my brin is
now too old and worn to remember.
Worst case you can create a small assembler stub function that calls the
name sans underscore and exposes it self with a name with the underscore so
that BC++ can link to it. I've done that in my time as well.
Cheers, Max.
