Hi Ian:
I'm interested in th resource include.
Could you send me a compilable sample privately?
Also, if you compile an application, there are two ways, one with
packages, hence the main package is vcl*Version.bpl this is the file
jaws is detecting. If you compile without packages, the executable
grows, there are no dependencies though, and jaws should detect the main
exectable name.
I should also say, thatther are some controls in the vcl that aren't as
accessible as they might be-I'm workng with codegear to fix this where
possible. If you want more info let me know.
Sean.

Hi,

My experience is that a program developped with Borland C++ Builder (in
any 
recent version) presents the difficulty of using the Borland Visual
Class 
Library (VCL).  This has several effects:

- the executable that results is huge (that may or may not be a real 
problem)
- JAWS seems to recognize only the VCL and so it becomes a problem to
have 
different JAWS configurations for different projects.

I use the Borland compiler from a command line or batch file to compile 
programs using native code and API calls and it works fine.  All you
have to 
do is to make sure that you use standard Windows resources.  To include 
resources such as menus and accelerators, there is a way of putting an 
include statement in the main .cpp file that makes it easy.  If you're 
interested in that, let me know and I'll send the code to you.

HTH.
