compiled c++ compiler 5.02 on c++ builder 6.0, got error for except()[catch expected. then changed except() to _except() still getting same error..please help

Ok, I'll bite. What are you doing, and more to the point why?

Actually what I wants that...I am upgrading a project that compiled successfully in BCC 5.02...I want to upgrade it in C++ builder 6.0..
On compiling in c++ builder 6.0 it gives error at except()...error is "catch expected"..
in this project try and except is used......
please help me

Show the code that is failing.

I imagine the question was "why are you using C++ builder at all"? Unless 6.0 is the same as C++ Builder 2007, which might make a little sense?

Yup, that's what I meant.

Why don't you guys like BCB?

This is the code that I want to compile in BCB6...actuaaly this is a part of code..........

this gives error at "except" that 'catch' is expected
