Can any one tell me what Language WiR was written in? I thought perhaps C++ but I doubt it very much.
Thanx in advance
The StratMan.

Its written in C, by the Borland C compiler v3.1.

Maybe I'm pushing my luck, but where can I find a copy of Borland C compiler V3.1
I have checked Borlands museum but not there.

Oh, that version of Borland's C product line is *old*. It goes **way** back. It came on 5.25" disks as I remember. Sadly I don't have it anymore. When I upgraded to a new computer 2 or 3 generations back, the compiler broke, so I eventually threw it away. Borland never went back to upgrade 3.x versions (and later 4.x versions) for new computers, so there was nothing else I could do, except switch to an open-source compiler like gcc which is much more likely to work on older machines (if you can get Linux to work on it, gcc will work on it too). I really did like the Borland IDE though.
