I am trying to compile a BCB5 project with BCB6. It starts compiling a .cpp
file and pops up a dialog saying "A line has been truncated". After clicking
Ok the BCB hangs. I had to kill it. What could be the reason? And I was
surprised with
the message on the dialog. Is there any limit on the length of a line of
code in BCB6?
Also I had observed that the source files get corrupted after this. It shows
weird characters in the code.

Sundeep Gawande,
cause of many weird and wonderful problems. You should recreate your project
under the new IDE.

from bcb5 ? That would not be the way to do it. Better:
start a new project in bcb6 and add all the units again.

Hi Andrue,
I am afraid it won't be correct for me to create new projects because all
my projects are COM components(TActiveForm) and recreating these projects
will change all the GUIDS and all. And again lot of rework of adding
interface into the TLB. Hence I am planning to go with using the default
project update and then repair other broken things.
What do u suggest?

Sundeep Gawande,
Sorry to be flippant but project upgrade has always been dodgy and
often results in obscure problems some of which don't surface until
later.
I'm not entirely sure why recreating your projects will change
anything - it never did for us that I know of. Okay so only one app
uses COM but it survived a project recreate from BCB5 without any
problems. Are you trying to mix BCB6 and BCB5 projects? Could that be
the problem?
We recreated everything and had no problems with the COM stuff.
