          WELCOME TO BORLAND C++ RUNTIME LIBRARY SOURCE 12.0
          --------------------------------------------------

  This README contains information on support for the Borland Developer
  Studio (BDS) C++ Runtime Library source code.

  BUILDING THE CppRtl
  -------------------

  IMPORTANT:  In order to build the libraries, the CppRtl tools directory
  must be present on your path.  These tools are located in the tools
  subdirectory of the directory where the source was copied.  For example,
  if you have copied the CppRtl source tree into

    C:\Program Files\Borland\BDS\source\cpprtl

  then

    C:\Program Files\Borland\BDS\source\cpprtl\Tools

  must be added to your path.

  If the CppRtl was not copied into the BDS installation area in the SOURCE
  subdirectory, you will need to set the RTLROOT environment variable to
  point to the location of the CppRtl source files. For example, if the
  compiler was installed in

    C:\Program Files\Borland\BDS

  and the CppRtl tree was copied to

    D:\RTLSOURCE

  then you must set the RTLROOT environment variable as follows:

    SET RTLROOT=D:\RTLSOURCE

  To build the CppRtl, change to the directory into which the source was
  copied and run the BUILD.BAT file.  For example:

    c:\> cd C:\Program Files\Borland\BDS\source\cpprtl

    c:\Program Files\Borland\BDS\source\cpprtl\> build.bat

  Once the CppRtl has been built, the new .obj, .lib, .dll, and .tds files
  will be located in the source\cpprtl\lib directory.  You should copy all
  the *.obj and *.lib files to your main BDS\Lib directory and copy the
  *.dll and *.tds files to your main BDS\Bin directory.


  DEBUGGING INFORMATION
  ---------------------

  To build the CppRtl with debug info enabled, set the environment variable
  DEBUG=1, then proceed with the build as normal.

  Keep in mind that the build process really preforms a "make" re-compiling
  only the OBJs that are out of date.  If you've built copies of the CppRtl
  previously, then in order to get a complete re-build of the CppRtl you
  should delete all files and subdirs in cpprtl\obj\win32 and rtl\lib.

  Alternatively, you can set the environment variable
  RTL_FORCE_FULL_REBUILD=1 and then proceed with the build as normal.


  RUNTIME LIBRARY SUPPORT
  -----------------------

  The Borland C++ Runtime Library source code is provided for your use and
  modification.

  IMPORTANT: Borland will only provide technical support for the CppRtl as
  it was shipped.  This means that if you use the source code to re-build
  the CppRtl, even if you have not modified the source, then no technical
  support is availible from Borland.  Essentially, the CppRtl sources are
  provided "as is" and you are on your own.

  If you find what you think is a genuine problem in the source code, we
  want to hear about it. Technical Support is available from the following
  sources:

  1. Internet: http://www.borland.com

  2. Borland's TECHFAX service. Call (800) 822-4269 for a FAX
     catalog of technical document entries.
