I don't think so. I have tried C++ Builder 3, which I was told was the
most recent version of their compiler. It still doesn't support enough
template features to compile Blitz. I would be surprised if BC5.02
was able to compile Blitz. The four most important test programs
from the compiler suite are available at the bottom of this page:

Try the four from the "platforms" page, it will save you some
unnecessary work.

Yes, for some language features blitz will use kludges (e.g. namespaces)
if the compiler doesn't support them. However, there are other features
which just can't be kludged (member templates, partial ordering).
For a list of supported compilers, see the "platforms" page above.
