 *** Creating Python Extensions Using Borland's Free Compiler ***

 I am pleased to announce a set of step-by-step instructions and examples to
 create extensions using the free Borland Command Line Compiler.

 ABSTRACT

 This paper describes the method used to create Python Extensions using the
 Borland 5.5 C++ Compiler (BCC). This command line compiler is available
 free from http://www.borland.com/bcppbuilder/freecompiler/. I describe the
 steps that are necessary to produce the extension from the C source code
 and how to set up the associated files for the compiler and linker. These
 extensions work with the standard Windows distribution of Python. The
 process used to produce the extension is very easy and consists of running
 a simple batch file that I provide as part of this package. I also have
 some examples and a short reference section at the end of this paper that
 may be helpful.
