BC 4.x does not have a DOS IDE.
Sorry.

Get BC 3.1 with Application Frameworks (not Turbo C for Windows 3.1),
if you can.

Don't ask me where, they don't sell it anymore.
The Powers That Be want us all to do Windows...
I think I got the last copy in the Co-Op Bookshop, Broadway.

You may get it 2nd hand on the Internet if you learn to say "Please".

Shane,

As far as the compiler looking for MAIN.CPP, I would think that this means that it is looking for your main function, main().
Perhaps you need to name the file that contains your main function the name MAIN.CPP, who knows.

As far as th DOS interface for Borland 4.0, I don' think that there is one. You need to write and compile your code in windows,
and then run the executable in DOS. You can get to DOS through the Windows DOS shell pretty easily, and then use the
Alt-Tab command to toggle between DOS and BC 4.0.

When using BC 4.0, you will want to be sure that you specify what target you are programming for too. To do this, click the right
mouse button somewhere in your code window, and select "Target Expert". Make sure that you specify that you are
programming an application for DOS, or whatever it is that you are programming. On version 4.5, the default is to program an
overlay for EasyWin, which is something that I doubt you want to write.

Good luck.

  would be fantastic!!!!!!!!!!

 Plizzzzzzzzz help!!!!!!!

 G'day I have BC vers 2.0 and when I try to compile something
 it says cannot find MAIN.CPP and I'm not trying to compile
 MAIN.CPP at all, my files are something quite different!!

 Is there any files I should delete to reset this occurence or
 what option does this?

 Plizz help...this is on my parents computer and they have
mislaid the disks for buying this a hundred and one years ago and I
would love to do some work these holidays!!!!!!!!!!

 Thanks heaps
