OK, now you have committed to CVS I can see the problem <g>

The __BORLANDC__ macro that is tested for should have two underscores
either side, i.e.
 _ _ B O R L A N D C _ _

The version in CVS uses singe underscores, so will not be detected.

I suspect this will be an artefact of newsreaders or email clients.  I
know mine 'helpfully' translates underscores into requests to underline
instead, so I guess we need to be extra careful when handling these
identifiers in mailed code.
