Jean-Claude, the distributed source code of Winrad compiles under CodeGear 2007 with the C++Builder personality. I have then ported it to CodeGear 2009, but haven't distributed the changes needed to cope with the forced Unicode support of CG 2009. Before it, strings were AnsiString. In CG 2009 by default they are UnicodeString. A nuisance, but with some efforts the program can be convinced to tolerate such a behavior... :-) Winrad uses a component library (a BPL) that I wrote, partly using some free third-party VCL components, and partly with new components written by me, specifically for Winrad and for my other programs. But if the Turbo C++ Explorer can't use a BPL library in the IDE, then there are no chances that Winrad can be compiled with it. 73 Alberto I2PHD
