I know I''m doing something wrong here, and it should be painfully obvious, but I can''t figure it out. I looked at the samples that came w/DirectX, and tried to compile the included sample code using my Borland Turbo C++, but it is giving me an error I cannot fathom fixing. It says that within the files included from DirectX (in this case, "ddraw.h" and "ddutil.h") there are numerous declaration syntax errors. Why would my compiler think there are mistakes in these files (which I assume have *no* mistakes)? I''ve written it as follows w/out success: #include #include "ddraw.h" And gotten error notices like this: Error ... DDUTIL.H 14: Declaration Syntax Error Error ... DDRAW.H 699: Declaration Missing ; Is it because the example code was probably made using a Microsoft compiler and thus needs fixing to work on my Turbo compiler? Or is it the DirectX files themselves?

Thanks so much guys! That''s just what I needed to know! Well, I guess I''d better go buy a new compiler ...
