BCB5/VCL and Delphi5 to BCB6/CLX?

Can anyone provide some information/guidance/direction, or direct me to a
location where information relating to the subject can be found?

My company currently has many MB of source written for BCB5/VCL, and some
Delphi5 code as well that is used by the BCB5/VCL code.  This is running on
Win98SE operating systems, on computers ranging from PII 250MHz to PIII's
and Athlon 1700's.  Due to numerous issues, we have decided against changing
to WinXP, and is hesitant to change to Win2000 due to major software changes
needed on several computers to do same.  Ultimately, we previously were
intending to shift to Linux rather than a newer MS product.  This change has
been slowed by a data source we must use that shifted to MS specific format
on several of his products.  We are considering upgrading to BCB6/CLX
environment, and are trying to understand the viability of this, as well as
the investment in time and effort to port VCL forms and DLLs over to the new
environment.  Also, we need to understand whether the Delphi5 code, both
internally generated and externally generated, will continue to be useable
with the the BCB6/CLX environment as it currently is with the BCB5/VCL
environment where Delphi5 is seamlessly integrated durng the debugging and
program tracing process.

I have read several of the postings and have seen little snippets of what I
am looking for, including that CLX is tied to BCB6 and BCBX, that BCBX
doesn't get along with Win98SE, and that the compiler shipped with BCBX is a
BCB6 compiler.

Any additional information will ge greatly appreciated!

Attenction !
CLX only work under some specific distribution of Linux, unless the IDE and
compiler may crash mysteriously...
Don't buy BCB6/CLX, is only "smoke in the eyes".
Trust in me...

CLX is NOT WORKING, neither upgraded or SUPPORTED. The newest version of 
BCPP Builder (that will be shiped inside the newest version of Delphi) 
will only work in VCL, NOT CLX.

A the mean time, Kylix (CLX) is a DEAD PRODUCT since 2002. I don't know 
yet if Borland will ever 'revive' it. I particularly think so, because 
the use of Linux is increasing so much, but with Borland, you never know.
