I've developed years ago a simple application made of 10 tables and 10 forms
+ a few reports with Paradox 7.
I'm seriuosly considering migrating all to Delphi but as I'm on a low budget
I would like to know:

1) If there's any tool that tries to import in Delphi as much as possible
(tables, forms ,etc) from older Paradox 7.

2) If latest Delphi has a sort of RAD wizard like Paradox 7; I want to keep
as little as possible coding. My application is very very simple and
relationships between tables are really "basic"....

3) If Delphi coding language is pretty different from OPAL....

ANy other hint appreciated.


Thanks

TTable and the BDE already supports Paradox style tables. Simply drop
a Table component on the dataModule or form and set the properties
such as databaseName and tableName and you should see your data. You
wouldn't really need to convert any table structures at all. You also
need a TDataSource Component on the form to connect your tTable data
to your grid or data aware controls. It could be done in a matter of
minutes.
