porting from TP/BP 6/7 is still fairly relevant... maybe not in your part of the <br>
universe but it is definitely relevant for others... in one development <br>
directory here there are well over 500 pas and inc files needing porting... no <br>
clue at this time the number of LoC in those files but it is a lot more than <br>
those with the porting task really want to know about else it set a daunting <br>
task ahead of them...<br>
