Surely CA-VO is at best slow, hard to learn and, in general, an unfortunate
mistake.  How many VO books do you see on the bookshop shelves?  How many VO
jobs do you see advertised in the pro press?  How many pro programmers do we
know in full time VO?  Answer to all is: very very few.
My advice: bite the bullet, learn Delphi.  You won't port, as such, but then
again, you won't to VO either.
