There are a few things that MS and its Borland version do that simply don't
work in the gnu or ecgs world of C compiling. I believe that there is a
Borland product named kylix which includes a rapid development environment
and visual element builder for open-source (ie gpl) linux projects. The
feeling that I've gotten from reading is that it is similar in operation to
the MS based product. I've got it for Mandrake 8.1 but I'd think that you
could find it at the Borland site for the version of Linux that you are
running there.
