I'm not entirely sure the idea makes sense. I mean, Delphi has all the
fuctionality of TVision, with a *lot* more customizability and power.
However, I'll guess that you're looking for a way to use TVision-native code
directly in Delphi - and the answer then is "I don't think so". At best, I
know there were (3rd party) utilities to port TVision code to Pascal for
Windows, and other utils to port WinPas to Delphi.
However, I'd submit that this would be a waste of time. You'd spend so much
time tweaking, adjusting and fixing that you'd be better off just to start
from scratch. While both TVision and Delphi provide means of consistent
interfaces and event programming, the similarity pretty much ends there.
Anecdotal - I had been writing a large database program in TVision. It was in
the area of 3000 lines long _just_for_the_interface_ portion, and I'd spent
months on it. The first weekend I had Delphi, without even opening the
manuals, I duplicated that entire interface in Windows without writing any
code.
Start from scratch - you'll be happier.
