Tinny, Dean, etc.,
I didn't get any feedback to my questions below, so I will proceed with
proposing the following changes (I'm just pasting in the DIFF outputs)...

> // but won't automatically convert between the two

I have also re-created the BCB4 project files. Because the changes were so
numerous -- mostly because all the paths were wrong -- I am simply attaching a
.ZIP with the new versions of all those files. (See attached file:
Projects-Win32-BCB4.zip)
P.S. I probably should add the disclaimer that these contributions are my own
and imply no responsibilities nor liabilities for my employer.

Subject: Supporting C++Builder 4 and 5 issues
I am trying to pull together updates for the BCB4 files in CVS and create a
similar BCB5 tree for C++Builder 5 and I would like the community's input on a
few issues...
1. Am I correct that Visual C++ 6 does not declare the C++ standard type
"wchar_t" as intrinsic like C++Builder does, which allows VC6 to think an
"XMLCh" is the same, while C++Builder thinks they are different?
2. Given the typedef problem above, is anyone building Xerces under C++Builder
^without^ changing the "XMLCh" typedef in util\Compilers\BorlandCDefs.hpp back
to being "wchar_t"?
3. MSDN, etc. indicates that the InterlockedCompareExchange API is not
supported on Windows 95, only on later versions. Secondly, in the
"compareAndSwap" method in util\Platforms\Win32\Win32PlatformUtils.cpp, the
inline assembler section ifdef'ed for VC++ uses instructions that, I think, are
only valid for 80486 and later processors. Is supporting Windows 95 the reason
we are not using the InterlockedCompareExchange API method? Additionally, does
Xerces have a stated list of supported processors?
