Oh, that's a shame.  We usually get feedback once per major release from
Borland CC users and adjust things so they work, but then at some later
point things can break and there are no Borland CC users around to do
testing.

Looking at the errors I see a 'DIR' structure being defined:

    DIR        *d;

and the errors are in referencing fields in the structure:

    d->dirname = malloc(strlen(dirname) + 4);

So would you check to see what fields are defined in your DIR structure.

Also, I don't see this file as being changed for a few years so I am
confused why the compile is failing for you and not for previous Borland
CC users.
