Borland C++ Builder Studio 2006

This IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is designed
for professional software developers. Consequently it has
much more functionality than we need...

That's a good thing, because the possibilities are limitless.
Fortunately, we will only be using a small fraction of what's available...

We will learn to ignore a lot, including a variety of warnings and errors that
may result from the way our computers are configured.

But we do need to avoid messages like this!

In the CLICC lab, under Programs/Social Sciences, open:
Borland C++ Builder...

Select New/VCL Forms Application...

Borland provides you with a WYSIWYG editor
for the Window you are designing (the "Design" tab)...

Borland provides you with a C++ code editor
to control the behavior of the application (the "Unit1.cpp" tab).

Before writing any code, you MUST:
FIRST: Go to Project/Options/Linker/Linking and
Uncheck the "Use dynamic RTL" box.
Check "default" if you can, and then "OK."
(this enables the executable you write to run on any PC -
otherwise, it will only run on PCs that have Borland installed.)

Before writing any code, you MUST:
SECOND: Go to Project/Options/Turbo Assembler/Packages and
Uncheck the "Build with Runtime Packages" box.
I am not sure about this...
Check "default" if you can, and then "OK."
(this enables the executable you write to run on any PC.)

Before writing any code, you MUST:
THIRD: Go to File/Save Project As...
Do NOT accept the default folder on the locked C: drive.
Create a new folder on the public D: drive...
Open that folder...
And Save both files...
(if you don't do this initially you will have all sorts of trouble)

Before writing any code, you MUST:
FOURTH: Click the green arrow...
(to see if your minimal application will run...)

If it does, close the running program,
and begin writing your application code...
