Hi,

I am trying to port my company's software originally written in Borland C++
5.02 to C++ Builder 4. In the code, there are a lot of references to string
class in BC5's cstring.h. However, in C++ Builder 4, Borland has replaced
the BC5 string with the STL string. There are many similarities between the
two string classes but there are some features found in the BC5 string that
is not available in the STL, particularly the ability to compare two strings
case insensitively. Does anyone know how I can continue to use the Borland
string in cstring.h in C++ Builder 4?

Thanks,
Kevin.
