I have developed an open systems (C++) MQSeries API that our company is using on various UNIX boxes (HP-UNIX and SUN SOLARIS). It is a DLL, a Shared Object (actually a group of Shared Objects) which various applications invoke. It is compiled with the HP aCC compiler and on the Sun with the Sun Workshop C++ 4.2. We have Queue Managers on the HP and Sun. On the NT we have MQSeries Client 5.1. On the NT we are required to use Borland C++ Builder5.
I am very comfortable on the Unix side (developing, compiling, linking, etc) using my API with Server headers. I am not well versed in Borland C++.
I want to invoke my MQSeries API on the NT as a client application. I know that once it is properly compiled and linked on the NT if I wanted to put to or get from one of the UNIX boxes I would have to set an environment variable at my workstation.
I.E. â€œset MQSERVER=NTCLIENT.QMGRNAME/TCP/##.##.##.## (itâ€™s address)â€
I donâ€™t know how to compile and link my API using Borland.
Iâ€™ve made attempts such as using the command line BCC32
BCC32 I- pathtomyincludes;progra~1Borlandcbuilderinclude;progra~1mqseri~1toolscplusinclude;progra~1mqseri~1toolscinclude â€“opathtowhereI wantmy executablemyapp.exe pathtomysourcemyapp.cpp pathtomysourcemydll1.cpp pathtomysourcemydll2.cpp pathtomysourcemydll3.cpp

Iâ€™ve also tried building / making through the gui Borland C+ Builder5. Iâ€™ve added the MQSeries tools includes to the include path and Iâ€™ve run IMPLIB on mqic32.dll and imqc23vn.dll from the MQSeries bin to create mqic32.lib and imqc23vn.lib in the Borland lib. I added these two libs to the linkers libfiles. Iâ€™ve also tried running IMPDEF on mqic32 to make aliases of the MQSET and other methods without the leading â€˜_â€™.
I am at a loss. Can someone help me.
1) Am I right in believing I should be able to compile and link my API on NT using Client Headers so I can run it (after setting my environment variable) and do puts and gets on various queues on Sun and HP?
2) Where can I find detailed descriptions on how do I do this using Borland C++?

Thanks for reading through my excessive verbiage and thanks for assisting me in this problem.
