In converting a small .lib / .h set written in msvc++, Borland keeps 
erroring on these sets of PACKAGE () . Can someone please tell me wht these 
are, and what their equivilent is in borland? Thank you very much.

Example code:

#ifndef PACKAGE
#define PACKAGE(x)
#define ENDPACKAGE(x)
#endif

PACKAGE(ImmutableTypes);

#ifndef _TXTYPES_
// Our types follow
typedef unsigned char byte;
#if defined(_MSC_VER)
typedef __int64 llong;
typedef unsigned __int64 ullong;
#else
typedef long long llong;
typedef unsigned long long ullong;
#endif
typedef unsigned int uint;
typedef unsigned long ulong;
typedef unsigned char uchar;
typedef unsigned short ushort;
#endif

ENDPACKAGE(ImmutableTypes);

CBuilder 6 has a utility to import old Visual Studio 6 projects
( there is no support for more recent versions like VS.net ).

The purpose of this is to read .dsp & .dsw projects and translate the 
Microsoft compiler and linker command line switches to equivalent 
Borland compiler and linker switches.  Aside from that, it assumes that 
any source files in the project conform to borland C++.

I put your code into a small C++ project in BCB6 and it compiled without 
error.

As far as borland C++ is concerned, PACKAGE is just another macro, so 
you'd need to check on microsoft groups to see if it has special meaning 
in Visual Studio.
