To create a secure web server in BCB3.
BUT!!


After much a mental ado I am going to upgrade my project to BCB6. I just 
realized that I did not have to recreate all the forms just include 
them. (boy was I stupid). So it was easier than I thought.
Yes I actually thought I had to recreate all my forms (boy oh boy).

I have moved most of the components that I use in BCB3 to BCB6 with out 
a problem except for a tiny snag in the TZipBuilder which I was able to 
resolve easily.

Now the challenges..
1. I got errors where the compiler included winsock.h and winsock2.h.
will it be ok for me to edit windows.h and replace winsock with 
winsock2. ( I did this already and it looks ok so far).

2. Of course I have winshoes all over the place. This is not really a 
problem per say I can handle it, but is there a viable solution or 
workaround for the deprecated function TWinshoeSocket.Readable;

3. I get lots of errors concerning Trim ambiguity with AnsiStrings and 
WideStrings; and File functions ambiguity with int and __int64. Can I 
typecast my "direct" strings as AnsiString? and typecast my value like 5
to (int)5  ?


Thanks for all your help in the past Remy. I will definitely need your 
(or anyone else) support moving from 3 to 6.

Any other glitches I should know about please let me know..

Thanks again!!
