I am currently learning to program in C++ using the Borland C++ 3.1 package for
Windows, and have run in to a bit of a problem with my compiled executable files.
The file I'm working on right now employs a .RC file containing menus, bitmaps, and dialog boxes.  When I run program on the machine which I compiled it, everything
works ok, but when I copy the executable file to a disk to run on another machine
with Windows (not containing Borland C++) the dialog boxes do not come up.
Everything else does, and I get no errors. This program I have been working on is a Windows application if that helps...

I have played around with the Options|Linker|Libraries setting them all to "static"
which I thought would do something, but it hasn't.  I have also changed the name and
played around with a few other file attributes, but nothing seems to help.

If anyone has run into this problem before or has some insight into what the possible
cause might be, I would greatly appreciate any ideas you may have.  I am at my wit's
end.....  Please remember I am a novice to C++ and C for that matter, so please
respond in laymen's terms if possible.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
