(also to use code compiled > with DJGPP in FreePascal might be possible) Did you consider also porting to Ada95 - eventually linking to C++ parts ? Ada is structured like Pascal and you will escape from the "incompatible dialects" problem. Of course, it depends on your needs. e.g. if the application is DJGPP-only and not to be ported, there can be more specific solutions. ________________________________________________________ Gautier -- http://www.mysunrise.ch/users/gdm/gsoft.htm NB: For a direct answer, e-mail address on the Web site!
