No, but you can manually open a window and draw on it.

No, you dont _have_ to, but I'd recommend it. OO is nice once you get the
hang of it, which is, IMO, not that hard.
Might be a better idea to look at your app as a reference "document" and
rewrite it all in Delphi from scratch. Sounds like the nasty way, but you
end up spending a lot of time trying to make things that worked under the
old system (in my case. Paradox) work the same under the new system (in my
case, Interbase and MIDAS). In the long run, I dont think its worth it.

yup, but unless you are an official beta tester (and hence, have it), I
can't give it to you.
