Urk. It's a tower of Babel, unfortunately. I gave up even trying to convert my Borland Pascal library to Delphi, just for lack of time. Even at that I had to buy a whole package just to get a KeyPressed function. A Borland Pascal to BB would be very welcome, but Borland went so far beyond J&W that I can understand that it would be a major problem.
But it would definitely be welcome here. Legacy software is definitely THE major impediment to even considering a change in language.
I would be VERY interested, however, in how you implemented I/O, since the BB library lacks basic READ and WRITE statements.
