In Delphi, when one unit is replaced by another you can set up a project
alias to cater for this. Later versions of Delphi have the (default)
aliases
"WinTypes=Windows;WinProcs=Windows;DbiTypes=BDE;DbiProcs=BDE;DbiErrs=BDE
;". Can you not do the same in C++ Builder?
Setting up these aliases would mean that you wouldn't need to change the
source of every pascal unit you wanted to use.
