+ <h1>Installation instructions for Borland'c C++ 5.7</h1>
+
+ <p>
+ This compiler is not supported yet, or maybe we should say this
+ differently: this compiler has a lot of quirks which makes it reject
+ the library at too many places for us to find workarounds. It has a number
+ of problems which seem to happen randomly -- trying to cut down on the code
+ makes them go away, so that it is hard to come up with short testcases.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ However, the compiler is detected by the configuration machinery, so
+ testing newer versions of the compiler should be simple once they are
+ released. Borland C++ 5.7 is part of both Borland's Windows C++ compiler
+ kit as well as the Kylix3 environment for Linux.
