I'm trying to compile the thread library using the Borland command 
line tools, version 5.5.1, and the STLPort version of STL, version 
4.5.3. When the source files #include Borland's <process.h> file, 
the 
following errors occur:
Error E2337 c:\borland\bcc55\include\process.h 74: Only one of a 
set

A number of the functions prototyped in there, though not all of 
them, are making the compiler choke.
FWIW, the build did work if I just used the stock Borland STL.
I've been able to narrow things down some. If I just have these two 
lines:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <process.h>

I am able to repro the error w/ a simple bcc32 command line compile. 
That's w/ stlport in the include path. If I remove it, the errors go 
away. If there are any stlport experts, I'm curious as to how to 
correctly resolve this. I'm going to post a message on that forum.

Thanks,
