Thanks for the good info, Jon, will look into that. I was looking at the
Visual C++ Pro or whatever it is called.

Agreed. On the Mac, thank goodness Codewarrior is mostly the standard
nowadays.

In my situation, especially on the PC, the problem is 15 years of legacy
code. It would be incredibly expensive to port to Visual C++. Other folks
wrote most of that code, and it works just fine. It wouldn't work
significantly better ported to C++.

Though it is sometimes difficult to figure out Microsoft's newest whiz bang
technology as applied to Delphi, the task is relatively minor compared to
porting over all that legacy code (G).
