 BB> I ported one of my old and much beloved TP programs to Delphi (1.0)

   I'd be very interested in knowing something about how you did this.
I've been programming in TP/BP for 12-13 years, having >700,000 lines
of applications, but I can't seem to "switch the paradigm" or find the
magic wand which will get me started in converting _any_ of my Pascal
programs to Delphi.  I just don't see any real connection between the 2
languages.
   I have many menu-driven DOS programs, small and large, and it might
make sense to convert them to Windows, via Delphi - I also own both
Delphi 1.0 and 2.0.  However, even though I've taken a 3 day class in
Delphi Development and have purchased several books, I have yet to
discover anything written to help the experienced (!) Pascal programmer
enter the world of OOP, RAD, or any of the elements of Delphi.  I'd like
to know how you did this (I don't expect it to be easy), and would
appreciate any insight you can provide.  So far, I've wasted >$1000 on
software, books, and education, for a product I'd like to learn and use
but can't...  TIA
... Just imagine a Marine with a flame thrower and PMS!
