Borland C++ Builder Limits Debug Info to = 32Megs?

Nir Arbel asks: "After two years of using Visual C++, I've decided to try Borland's C++ Builder 5 for a small pet project of mine, to see if I wanted to make the switch. After putting BC5 through it's paces, I was ready to switch camp. Eventually though, as my project got big enough, it seemed BCB5 could no longer link my project. Searching for info, I ran into several descriptions of this exact same problem with the ultimate conclusion that the linker couldn't handle more than 32 megs of debug information. I'm reluctant to believe that this development environment is useless for large projects. Does anyone know about this problem and possible solutions to it?"

i recommend that you try posting this question on borlands newsgroups. many people are there and even people that work for borland and helpers called TeamB. i think it is either news://news.borland.com or news://forums.inprise.com. if you don't have a newsreader, you can get pan from superpimp.org or use gnus from emacs.

Try C++ Builder ... its much more recent then BC 5 which has been out in various forms since 1996 or 1997
