I have converted 2 programs over.  If you have updated all your 3rd party 
components, and you don't do anything funny with strings then it is quite 
straight forward.  If you do anything strange with strings, it can be a pain in 
the arse.

One program took about 2 hours to convert, the other took about 20.

I'm one of those procrastinators who have bought Delphi 2009 but haven't
installed it. I guess Delphi 7 is fast, I know it back to front and it
handles almost everything I need, and the help system seemed to go down the
toilet from D5 onwards.

I keep hearing about the amount of code conversion required to move D7
projects to D2009. Really, how bad is it? Can anyone who has migrated from
D7 to D2009 give a rundown on what's required.

Laurence Bevan
