I sent this in the install grooup.  Now I wonder if I should have sent
it here.

I have bought bcb1, 3, 4, and now 5.

When I try to use bcb5 on my bcb4 project, I have three problems that I
know about.  ( this is as far as I have gotten )

1) When I bring up bcb5 with my old project, it seemed to do the
conversion just fine, but when I close bcb5 I get "This program has
performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.  Contact
vendor....

One time it said illegal operation vcl50.bpl 0167:40008924

another time it was Module kernel32.dll

All I have to do is open bcb5 with the project and immediately close it
to produce the illegal operation.

2) If I compile files in the project, I get "including vcl4.h instead of

vcl.h dur to -Hr switch"  I can't find this switch, and I can't find any

reference to it.

3) if I build the project, there is a problem with menus.  To create
Menus, I have built a complete menu mask and then the program reads in
from files what really belongs there.  Everything was fine in bcb4, but
in bcb5 where there are sub-menus, the text is missing from the parent
and the sub-menu is displayed just fine.

When I installed bcb5, I left bcb4 installed, but I see that some files
that bcb4 wants to access have been overwritten.

What is going on?  Please help!
Thank you
