What edition(s) of C++ Builder include command-line tools?

What edition(s) of C++ Builder include command-line tools?
Tue, 15 May 2007 11:19:32 -040
I have been asked to get Borland C++ Builder 6 to support one of our 
customers.  I've never used Borland products before.  I'm trying to figure 
out if the commmand-line tools are included in the Professional and/or 
Enterprise Edition of C++ Builder 6.0, but I can't find this information 
anywhere on the website.  The only info I see is a link to a command-line 
tools download for version 5.5 of the compiler.  Does this imply the tools 
are bundled with the 6.0 product?

I should note that we downloaded a trial version of C++ Builder 6 recently 
(the link to the download now seems disabled).  It did not include 
command-line tools.

Thanks for any information you can provide.

The professional version includes Cmd line tools.
The trial doesn't as that would probably loose them sales.

And I will just point out that while BCB6 does include command line tools, 
the bpr2mak tool is buggy, and that the conversion process (from bpr to mak) 
is not always painless.

If you find yourself having trouble compiling something from the command 
line that compiles okay in the IDE, first get my fixmake utility 
(http://www.grassvalleysoftware.com/FixMake.zip) and then make sure that all 
necessary include paths are specified in project options (because the IDE 
*implicitly* refers to include paths for installed component packages even 
if they are not listed in project options, but there is no way for the 
bpr2mak tool to know about them).
