Hi all,

     I'm using the OpenDoor toolkit to develop my door game, Legion.  I just
recently found OpenDoor InterBBS toolkit.  When I compile, I get this error and
was wondering if any C/C++ coders out there could help me get this compiled. 
The problem seems to be when I include the interbbs.c source file inside my
code.  I'm using Borland C++ v5.5 and here's the error log:

I know I'm using a C code source code inside CPP.  Here is more information:

USING THIS PACKAGE

       In order to use the functionality of this package in your
       programs, you must setup your C or C++ compiler to compile and
       link the interbbs.c module with your program. To do this, create
       a project file or makefile that lists the names of your program's
       .C/.CPP source file(s), along with the interbbs.c file. Also, you
       must include the interbbs.h file in any modules of your program
       that will use any of the Inter-BBS capabilities. To do this,
       simply include the following line at the beginning of your
       .C/.CPP source file:

                #include "interbbs.h"

What would be the best way to approach this issue?
