  Using Borland C++ with the IBM Workframe/2

      IBM allows third party vendors to design and implement their
      command line programming tools under the IBM Workframe/2.
      Borland C++ for OS/2 is designed to allow compilation and
      linking under the IBM Workframe/2 programming environment.

  NOTE: Make sure the HELP environment variable has the Borland
  C++ \BIN directory listed within. Bring the CONFIG.SYS file up
  in the Borland IDE and search for the HELP environment variable.
  For Workframe/2 to properly use Borland C++ the \BIN directory
  should be listed in the HELP variable.

  WORKFRAME READY EXAMPLE:
  SET HELP=C:\OS2\HELP;C:\BCOS2\BIN;

  WORKFRAME NOT READY EXAMPLE:
  SET HELP=C:\OS2\HELP;

  To properly install Borland C++ under the IBM Workframe/2 do
  the following.

  1. Start IBM Workframe from workplace shell.

  2. Choose under the  TOOLS menu the Language Profile Management
  item.

  3. In the Filename input line enter a filename that will be the
  language profile file. The name BCOS2 is perfectly acceptable
  and causes Workframe to create a file named BCOS2.PRF that
  contains the language profile information.

  4. In the Language Name enter a unique language name that will
  identify the Borland C++ language profile inside the IBM
  Workframe. The name "Borland C++" is an example.

  5. The Language Eyecatcher must be a unique name not listed in
  the Eyecatcher list box located in the bottom right of the
  dialog box. The Eyecatcher is a unique 8 character significant
  identifier that allows the Workframe to identify which
  executables to use from any given project. The Eyecatcher must
  not begin with the three letters "IBM", this prefix is reserved
  by IBM.

  6. In the language extension input line enter ".cpp" for
  Borland C++. This tells the Workframe to compile all files that
  have the .cpp extension.

  7. In the Language compile input line enter "bcc.exe" for the
  Borland C++ command line compiler. This is the executable IBM
  Workframe/2 uses for compilation.

  8. In the Compile Options DLL input line enter "BC_WF.DLL". The
  Compiler Options DLL  allows you to specify compiler options for
  the Borland C++ compiler when being called by IBM Workframe/2.

  9. In the Language linker input line enter "tlink.exe" for the
  Borland C++ command line linker. This is the executable IBM
  Workframe/2 shells to for linking.

  11. In the Linker Options DLL enter "tlink_wf". The Linker
  Options DLL allows you to specify linker options for the Borland
  C++ linker when being called by IBM Workframe/2.

  12. Select the Language Variables button to set both your include
  and library paths for the Borland C++ compiler and linker. On a
  system where Borland C++ is installed on drive C:, the include
  path would be: "C:\BCOS2\INCLUDE" and the library path would be
  "C:\BCOS2\LIB". Click the OK Button to return the Language
  Profile Management dialog box when finished.

  13. Click the OK Button on the Language Profile Management dialog
  box.

   Borland C++ for OS/2 is now installed in the IBM Wrkframe/2. You
  can change any of the Borland C++ compiler options through the
  menu choice OPTIONS under compiler options, and you can change
  any of the Borland C++ linker options through menu choice OPTIONS
  and menu item linker options when a project is open in IBM
  Workframe.


  Building a project
  ==================

   You can build a Borland C++ compiled/linked project by doing
  the following:

  1. Choose from FILE menu project control item.

  2. Choose from project control window the New button.

  3. Enter in the New project dialog, the project description and
  the project name and hit enter, or mouse click on the more
  button to move to the next dialog box.

  4. From the New Project dialog box enter a project description
  and a project directory. The project directory will contain all
  the files that are part of the  project.

  5. In the languages drop down list box find Borland C++ and mouse
  click.

  6. The Borland C++ compiler and linker options can be changed
  with the appropriate buttons located at the bottom of the
  screen.

  7. Click the OK button to complete project creation.

   The IBM Workframe/2 presents you with a newly created
  project file that will compile and link using the Borland
  C++ Tools.
