If you want to translate your Visual Basic projects to Delphi, VB2D can save thousands of hours of programming. VB2D can translate an average of 90 percent of your Visual Basic 3.0 code to Delphi 1.0 or 2.0. The translation handles variants, control and form arrays, and redimensionable arrays, and inserts precedence adjustments when necessary. VB2D provides a diagnostic report and a list of warning messages cross-referenced to lines in the Delphi code, and provides usage cross-references for variables, procedures, functions, object properties and methods.
The Professional Edition includes source code for all program components, and creates detailed analysis reports. The software's maker, Eagle Research, is planning a VB2D version that accepts Visual Basic 4.0 as a source language.
Standard Edition, $150; Professional Edition, $450
