It depends on how many Borland extensions your code uses.  So far,
I've found tremendous compatibility.  I've recompiled various programs
that are BC3.1 heavy, and only needed to change a couple of function
calls.  The conio routines seem to be exact dupes of BC's, but I'm sure
someone else can be much more specific.
