Open the Lazarus IDE and you'll see the Tools menu has four conversion menu
options relating to Delphi. Looks like you want the second Delphi conversion
option:
Convert Delphi project to Lazarus project...
For simple projects the converter works well if you just accept all the defaults
the wizard provides.
Your Delphi code is saved unchanged, and the new Lazarus project ends up in a
new directory with appropriate new .lpi, .lpr and .lfm files, .pas files adapted
to use the LCL and probably substitutions for some Delphi components with their
(approximately) equivalent LCL counterparts.
thank you, howard... i've just tried this and it seemed to work but i aborted it
when it could not find suitable replacements for
StdCtrls
ComCtrls
Buttons
ExtCtrls
i had it search my lazarus tree as well as my FPC 2.6.2 tree... i'm not sure
which way to go at this juncture...
