SUMMARY
=======

To successfully run the Borland C++ 2.0 protected-mode compiler (BCX.EXE) under
Windows, load TKERNEL.EXE at the MS-DOS command line before you start Windows.
Use the following parameters:

  TKERNEL hi=yes kilos=nnnn

where nnnn represents the number of kilobytes of XMS memory for BCX to manage.
Borland recommends kilos=2048 (see page 5 of the "Borland C++ 2.0 User's
Guide").

After loading TKERNEL, run Windows in standard mode (WIN /S) or in real mode (WIN
/R), and then run BCX.EXE.

NOTE: BCX.EXE cannot be run under Windows in 386 enhanced mode. Run BCX in
Windows standard or real mode only.
