Arasan 1.0 (circa 1994) was built with Borland C++ but I haven't
used it for years and the current version of Arasan likely doesn't
compile with it. It uses MFC and unless Borland supports that you
will have a problem. It also uses Visual C++ types like __int64.
And the makefiles won't be compatible. So my advice is, don't
bother. Buy Visual C++ if you really want to use this code (someday
I'll likely get it to work with gcc, but Borland support is not
on my to-do list).

You have a lot better chance with Crafty as it is C and is
designed to be portable, but you will likely have to make changes
to chess.h (where system-specific types are defined) and unless
Borland has changed their non-standard version of "make", you will
have to fix up the makefile, too.
