Question:


How do I convert my OWL app to a BCB3.0 project file?

Answer:

The easiest way is use the IDETOBPR commend line utility
(using the -v switch)  that is shipped with BCB3.0.  This
will create a BPR file from the IDE file.

After the BPR file is created, you will need to make sure that
the proper DEFINES are done.  most common are _NO_VCL, _BIDSDLL,
_OWLDLL, _OWLALLPCH, BI_NAMEPSACE, STRICT, _RTLDLL

Also make sure that you specify that you are using the OWL
namespace, do this typeing "using namespace OWL;" prior
to trying to actually use any OWL classes.

Also check the libraries that are to be used with the project.
You can check these from opening the project makefile, and
then check the "ALLLIB" line, and make sure that the correct
libraries are listed.
