Bless you.  It's a good thing you're that far away, or I'd climb
right through the phone line and kiss you.  The patch works for
both BCB4 and BCB5.  I compiled a couple of my programs under Wine
(including a private library into which I compiled half a dozen
other modules, also under Wine) and they work just fine.  With the
exception of the few bytes that always change when I recompile a
program unchanged (object file date stamps, perhaps?), the BCB4
versions are bit-for-bit identical with the ones that were compiled
by the BCB4 development system on my Win98 box.

Looks like I can now build Windows programs under Wine (at least
under the 20010216 version).  Thanks again!
