Get the program "UPGRAGE.ZIP" from borland or somewhere and run that on
it that works okay, you sometimes still have to change a bit of code.
I've had luck using it upgrading over 15,000 lines of code from TP3 to
BP7 and it is very simple, also helpful is the TP3 manual and the BP7
manuals.  I think the biggest problems are in intergers,reals ect.  Oh
yeah and most of all make sure it will compile in TP3 if it did'nt work
then it want work now...

GoodLuck.

Jim.

BP8.00 FOR Linux would be cool....

That shouldn't be a problem from TP3 -> TP7.  (unless the words longint,
double, single, word, etc. are used as user defined types or identifiers)
