16 bit / 32 bit selection?

[spp9]

Hi I'm quite new to this!
I'm using C++ Builder 3.0 as the application I'm developing uses third party header and .lib files that need this. It aslo needs to be compiled as a 16 bit application.
Can I do this from the Borland IDE or do I need to use the comandline compiler? If so where can I get a copy, with instrictions?

If I complie my code in the IDE I get a linker error 'unsupported 16 bit segments' which is what is maiking me think that the IDE is compliling in 32 bit and my third party files are 16 bit.
Any help would be great.

AFAIK, all Builder apps are 32 bit. The command line compiler is the same one that Builder uses so that won't work. For 16 bit apps, you'll have to download a copy of the older Turbo compilers.
