Hello!
You have not mentioned the version of Pro*C you are using. Is this Version 2.0 which requires WIN32S in your SYSTEM.INI ? If this is the case, I have noticed that you will have to keep the source .PC file in the same directory in which the PRO*C executable resides!! And make sure that you start the Pre-Compiler in the same directory! You then copy the generated .C file and complie/link with Borland C to your appropriate development directory. It is odd, but I am sure there is a better solutions, but I have had a similar problem and solved it this way.
