Q. I have a program which I want to convert from 16-bit to 32-bit.Will it be much work and what are the major difficulties doing so....

A. If you're converting from BC++4.53 to 5.02, here's what I ran into, aside from inline assembly language:
    1. bool is now a native type
    2. heed the warnings about const reference parameters
    3. need to upgrade any 16-bit DLLs like third-party controls
    4. watch out for datatype of checkboxes and radiobuttons in OWL transfer buffers
