I've been fighting issues that are in C++ Builder 5 and it seems as though I may need to drop support for it. Otherwise, it seems I am going to have to go throughout the IBO code and IFDEF out all calls to iboDecodeA() and iboEncodeA(). For some reason it is unable to handle the way I have things coded.

But, before I do anything official in this regard, I would like to know if anyone is intent upon remaining at this level or if they can bump up to at least C++ Builder 6.

I suppose it is also possible there could be some compiler options that might also allow me to avoid the problems I am facing. Unfortunately, I'm not a guru when it comes to what all options are available in C++. Would those who do know this please contact me privately so that I can get this decision finalized?

I am very anxious to reach the milestone of having 4.9.14 finished and this is an aspect that is holding me up, along with a few other bugs I plan to fix before I call it good for this version.

Please keep in mind, I will back-port any critical fixes that go into the IBO 5.x code that are also relevant in the IBO 4.9.x code.

Thanks,
Jason
