Borland to Visual C++ Conversion
-
Does anybody know of any utilities that can be used to convert from Borland C++ Builder 1.0-3.0 to Visual C++ 6.0/.Net. The company I work for has many products that must be upgraded. I hate to start from scratch if not necessary. Thanks for any info. Bill Miller

I know of no utilities, but would advise you to create the VS projects/solutions from scratch even if there were. In the past I've done way to many cross compiler "ports" (and even backward ports from VS 4/5/6 to VC++ 1.52c:eek: X| and even a "port" from OWL to MFC.) The OWL to MFC port was the most difficult, especially since at the time, MFC didn't support reflection but OWL did. (For the record, everything else was easier in MFC and Visual C++ 1.52c was much more stable.) If you need assistance, I'm available for moonlighting....:) (I'm one of those sickos who actually likes doing this, within reason [like my current job where we're just holding our collective noses and sticking with the convoluted combination of C, C++, MFC, STL, rolled-their-own-bizarro-partial-clone-of-ATL and mystery code.]) Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine. - P.J.
