Before everything I do a couple of substs with an editor, then instead of gcc -E I use small pascal filterprograms to sort the symbols based on heuristics. Usually "clean" defines, structs, function calls and "rest". The clear files I translate by h2pas, the rest manually or with pascal programs, and then I stitch them together again. I try to preserve comments as much as possible. In the past, with very large headers, I did this restitching semiautomatically, by inserting marker comments while splitting. I tried all other headerconvertors, and didn't have a better result. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
