Borland C++ Builder can do this.  However, it is a complicated process.

1)  Copy Warp's sig to Notepad.  Save the file as "dummy.c" in the directory
you will be creating the project in.

2)  Make sure that Windows didn't rename "dummy.c" to "dummy.c.txt".  If it
did, fix it.

3)  In C++ Builder, create a new project of type Console Wizard.  Select all
the text in the "proj0000.cpp" file and delete it.

4)  Type the following into the "proj0000.cpp" file:
#include <condefs.h>
USEUNIT("dummy.c");
#define main

5)  Save your project.

6)  Compile it.

7)  Open a dos prompt and run the program from the dos prompt.

8)  Don't blame me if this doesn't work.  I got it to work on the computers
at the university, which are running an insane setup of Borland C++ Builder
4 on Windows NT 4.0 service pack 3, with C++ Builder being run from a
read-only network drive.  (30 minutes to compile POV, anyone?).
