You can't do it under 386 Enhanced mode until Borland produce the DPMI version. 
To use with standard mode first run TKERNEL hi=yes kilos=1024   then WIN/S then 
BCX should run from windows OK (as long as you have enough memory.

TKERNEL hi=yes kilos=768 let's BCX run just fine, but TPW tends to crash quite 
frequently now. Seems to be a problem of my windows-version ...


Thanks,

I hope that I'm not helping a software pirate get by without the manuals.

BCX is not a Windows executable but a DOS one.  Running it is described in
sufficient detail in the manuals.

First off, read the documentation...
 
BCX.EXE only runs in Standard mode since BCX does it's own thing with 
extended memory.  You start out by running TKERNEL.EXE, win /s then bring 
up BCX.  It's all in the manual.
