[vtkusers] using vtk in Borland Builder

[David Bourg]

I just recently went through the same problem as Johnson and was likewise
advised to rebuild the libs/dlls using Borland C++ Builder 6.  I went ahead
and did just that seemingly with success.  However, I think there's
something wrong with the resulting build.

I can create applications with VTK in Builder, but I encounter a crash
whenever I try to use a vtkBMPReader to load a texture for use on some
primitive (like a sphere).  I've narrowed it down to some trouble actually
reading the BMP file, though I can't figure out exactly what the trouble is.
Interestingly, my same code works fine when using Microsoft Visual C++ with
the appropriate libs/dlls for that compiler.  There's something wrong with
my Borland build apparently, although no errors were reported when I
actually did the build.

Has anyone encountered this problem?

Thanks,

David
