-------------------------------------------- BC4P04.RTP Borland C++ 4.0 UPDATE PATCH 04 -------------------------------------------- --------------- *** Notice *** --------------- This patch is intended for use only with Borland language products. The resulting file(s) are subject to the terms of the No-nonsense License Agreement which shipped with the Borland language product you purchased. If you have placed an order for the Chicago Update through Customer Service and would like to apply this and previous patches in lieu of receiving the update on CD-ROM, you may call 1-408-461-9000 to cancel your order. Please realize, however, that if you are running Borland C++ 4.0 under Windows 3.x, Windows NT, or OS/2, you can save space on your hard disk by running many of the development tools directly from the CD-ROM. This patch, on the other hand, requires that Borland C++ 4.0 be installed on your hard disk. --------------- Purpose --------------- Updates Borland Windows Custom Controls (BWCC) for Chicago compatibility. --------------- Files Modified --------------- bw32000c.dll bw320007.dll bw320009.dll bwcc.dll bwcc000c.dll bwcc0007.dll bwcc0009.dll bwcc32.dll --------------- Instructions --------------- Applying the patch file requires PATCH.EXE, which you will find available for download from the Online Automated Support (OAS) in the CPATCH file library or from CompuServe, GEnie, BIX, and Borland's Download BBS (DLBBS). *** Note: PATCH.EXE is not compatible with PATCH.COM which has been used to patch previous Borland products. *** 1) If you have not done so already, apply all previously available patches to Borland C++ 4.0 to your installation. Patches should be applied in order by the number indicated in the filename of the patch. The patch files BC4P01 through BC4P03 are available for download from CompuServe, GEnie, BIX, and Borland's Download BBS (DLBBS). 2) Copy BC4P04.RTP and PATCH.EXE into your Windows directory, by default C:\WINDOWS. 3) Change directories to your Windows directory. For a default installation, enter the following commands at the DOS prompt: C: CD \WINDOWS 4) Enter the following command at the DOS prompt: PATCH -BACKUP BC4P04.RTP Backup copies of the old versions of the files modified will be placed into a directory called BACKUP in your Windows directory. You may omit the -BACKUP flag to PATCH.EXE if you do not wish to keep these old versions. Be sure that you have enough extra disk space before using the -BACKUP switch (1.2 MB). --------------- Troubleshooting --------------- If PATCH.EXE is unable to locate the correct files to patch, you will see the message: Warning wpt0015: Old File does not exist This may indicate one of the following cases: 1) You have previously deleted one or more files from BC4 that PATCH.EXE has attempted to patch. In this case, PATCH.EXE will skip the files you have deleted. If you wish to replace a missing file, you must first reinstall from your Borland C++ 4.0 master diskettes before applying the patch. 2) You have copied PATCH.EXE and BC4P04.RTP to the wrong directory. In this case, verify the directory name in which you have installed Windows, your current working directory name, and the existence of PATCH.EXE and BC4P04.RTP in that directory. 3) When you installed BC4, you chose not to install one or more of the files that PATCH.EXE has attempted to patch. In this case, PATCH.EXE will skip the files you did not install. If you wish to add a missing file, you must first install from your Borland C++ 4.0 master diskettes before applying the patch. 4) You have installed a LAN installation of Borland C++ and thus your Borland Windows Custom Controls (BWCC) are not installed in your Windows SYSTEM directory. In this case copy PATCH.EXE and BC4P04.RTP from your patch disk to the directory above the directory in which you have BWCC.DLL installed. In most cases this will be your Borland C++ top level directory, C:\BC4 by default. From this directory, execute the following command from a DOS command prompt: PATCH -BACKUP BC4P04.RTP PATCH.EXE will report the following message if it determines that a file does not need to be patched: New Version of File 'FILENAME' already exists. This may indicate one of the following cases: 1) You have purchased a recent copy of Borland C++ 4.0 in which the software changes have already been introduced. 2) You have already applied the patch. In either case, PATCH.EXE has verified that your software is up to date and you need not take further action.
