I havent had any problems at all with converting many record definitions and
apps all from BP7..
String type - best to convert all string to shortstring. Do not use $H
directive, it is stuffed, to put it mildly.
Real - I have had no problems.
Records - ofcourse you need to use the $A to not align the fields within a
record to boundaries.

Jeremy,
An interesting thing to check is the 'sizeof (TMyRecord)' under both Delphi
and BP. When it's the same, you know you've got it right. Have a look at
the 'packed' keyword and $A- directive. String types may be a problem too.
