Robert,

it sounds like you may have used the IDETOBPR tool to transition your
project.  Forget IDETOBPR.  Create an empty project in BCB4 from
scratch (using the OWL wizard), make sure that your old main source
file (and no other source file) has the name of the new project (from
what you're describing that is already in good shape in your case),
put a line

#define WinMain

into the new main  .cpp file, and add all your source and reseource
script files manually to the new project.  For DLLs, you will need to
create an empty project for an EXE and manually edit the project file
(.bpr) to give you a DLL.  If that's an issue, I'll dig up how I've
done it (once and successfully).  There are changes to be made in 3 or
4 lines of the .bpr file.

Cheers,              Jochen
