Still using BCB4. That's about to change. My questions are: I think if I apply Update 2 right off the bat, I won't have to apply Update 1. Correct? If I apply the Hotfix rollup, it applies the hotfixes up to #10. Correct? I remember reading a while back that someone or some people apart from Borland (Codegear) developed some addons or patches or whatever to significantly speed things up. Which ones are good, should I apply them, and where can I get them? I also remember previously reading that it is better not to try to import a program developed in BCB4 directly, but to build it from scratch. Is this true? This seems like a lot of work.

Correct? Correct. It always advisable to install the IDE, run the IDE, close the IDE. And then install third party add-ons and patches. Quote: If I apply the Hotfix rollup, it applies the hotfixes up to #10. Correct? I thought it skipped 2 I remember (maybe that one was specialized). My personal recommendation is to not apply hotfixes right away (unlike Update 2 which I think should be applied right away). I recommend running the IDE for awhile first. Quote: I also remember previously reading that it is better not to try to import a program developed in BCB4 directly, but to build it from scratch. Is this true? This seems like a lot of work. I suggest creating a new project that is very similar to (and even uses the same name as) the project from BCB4. Then add all source (with multi-select in the Add to Project dialog that should not be hard. Then do a compare of the two projects. Then create a new project and new source and note any differences. e.g. the USEFILE macros no longer show up in the project source. Check for things like #pragma package(smart_init). I think it was the same in BCB4 that is several versions ago. --Craig Back to top Gord Guest Posted: Fri Mar 16, 2007 8:12 pm    Post subject: Re: About to Install BDS2006 - some questions Thanks for the tips Craig. If I could just get the link to the Update 2 to work, I would be off to the races. Sent an email to Codegear, but haven't heard anything back yet.
