porting from TP to C++

Hello
I need to port some TP programs to a C++ 32 bit environment for Windows.

Any of you have any tips on utilities that make this easier?

regards

Forget the C++, and see the mini-FAQ :

If it must run in a C++ environment, see if FPC can create a DLL for C++

The easiest is to port to a 32 bit Pascal or another high-level language,
having modularity at least. I would recommand Ada 95 since it is standardised
and highly portable. There are Win 32 and DPMI 32 ports of the free GNAT
compiler (based on GCC); for graphics I have made an effort to port Graph:

Good luck !
