Strictly speaking, the compiler (BCC32.EXE) and librarian (TLIB.EXE)
work just fine, and give results that are bit-for-bit identical
to the results when run on a real Windoze box.  It's the linker
(ILINK32.EXE) that hangs.  I've run many tests with both BCB4 and
the version 5 free download.  Too bad - I'd love to get it running
under Wine myself.

BTW I don't believe in IDEs - I use the command-line tools
and makefiles - so installation wasn't an issue.  I just copied
the executables, libraries, and include files into appropriate
directories on my Linux box.
