All,

I have just upgraded from BCB5 to RAD Studio 2007 and am beginning to
convert applications.  For a relatively simple VCL app, I have set up
a new project (conversion produced a nonworking result) and tried to
build the project, in the end successfully.

The main problem was that in sequences like the following,


   #include 
   #include $\#include\#includeusing\; namespace\; std\; ;\; CB2007\; did\; not\; like\; math,\; stdio,\; and\; stdlib.\; To\; my\; knowledge\; of\; the\; C++\; standard,\; these\; commands\; should\; successfully\; include\; cstring.h,\; math.h,\; stdio.h\; and\; stdlib.h.\; All\; of\; these\; are\; existing\; where\; you\; would\; expect\; them\; in\; CB2007\text{'}s\; area.\; BCB5\; found\; them\; just\; as\; expected\; (in\; its\; own\; area,\; not\; in\; CB2007\text{'}s\; area,\; of\; course).\; There\; was\; no\; entry\; for\; PATHs\; under\; "Compiler"\; but\; the\; global\; one\; is\; present.\; Copying\; it\; to\; the\; compiler\; specific\; setting\; did\; not\; change\; anything.\; At\; the\; time,\; there\; was\; a\; big\; fuss\; about\; writing\; \#include$ instead\; of\; \#includeDid\; I\; miss\; a\; change/reversion\; in\; the\; standard?\; Cheers,\; Jochen\; hjtrost\; at\; microfab\; dot\; com\; Nil\; nimium\; studeo,\; Caesar,\; tibi\; velle\; placere,\; nec\; scire\; ut\; an\; sis\; albus\; an\; ater\; homo.\; Catullus$$

Thanks guys, I'm up and running.

Cheers,             Jochen

Nil nimium studeo, Caesar, tibi velle placere,
nec scire ut an sis albus an ater homo.

Should be cstring, or string.h ... ah, success!
