You are correct in assuming that for bug fixes and updates to existing sections, he would have to continue using Delphi. Unless, he is rewriting the corresponding code in C++ and linking the object library with the Delphi source code. If version 2 is being totally developed in C++, then my guess is that it is a rewrite and that is not a short process. Even though, the Delphi language resembles C++ up to a point, it's still not easy to convert Delphi to C++. It takes time and especially lots of testing. In doing a rewrite, it is possible that they caught a lot of the bugs, since they have to touch all of the code. I've coded with C++ and I prefer Delphi because I find it easier to work with. So if they are rewriting the code in C++, my hats off to the developers for their hard work. -- Best regards, Daniel Rail Senior System Engineer ACCRA Group Inc.
