Hi again Jason and others,

This work was going on based on the assumption that one of my
main clients would be prepared to assist (financially) with the
work required to migrate their application (to Delphi 2010 and
FB v2.5 and Windows 7 etc etc).

It seems that that assumption was misplaced and my work on this
stuff has had to stop. Not sure if this is a prelude to losing
the client or not... time will tell.

For the moment I thought I should mention it here, just in case
anyone was waiting impatiently for some progress on this front.
It now seems unlikely to happen.
