Of course, if you do want to use a Borland C++ IDE (Integrated Development
Enviornment) you might want to check out the Ports and Packages that come
with the FreeBSD 2.2.1-Release CD set.  I haven't actually used it but
there is something in there that clames to be similar to the Borland C++
IDE.  Like GH (above) I tend to think that you have to do it yourself if
you want it to be really good.  I haven't found any shortcuts that
actually work when put to the test.
