Does anyone know a trick to have a 16-bits (Borland Pascal) application
communicating with 32-bits IDAPI?

Thanks in advance,
Jan-Willem Kanters.

It might work by using a 16-to-32-bit thunk, but it would be very ugly.

16-bit applications can call 32-bit DLLs through a process known as
thunking. Thunking is implemented differently on Windows 95, Windows
98, and Windows NT. It isn't easy. In almost any case, it's easier to
rewrite your 16-bit code than to try thunking. In this particular
case, it would be far easier to use the existing 16-bit BDE than to
try to write a complete thunking library for 32-bit BDE.

Hi,

I also thaught about doing this, but it seems to be very hard work: I
believe that all BDE calls encapsulated in the vcl-components have to be
worked on and with the help of CALL32 NT it migtht be possible to route them
to the 32 Bit versions if a 32 Bit BDE is present. This could be a good
teamwork since my resources do not allow to do that. I will have to continue
using 16 Bit Delphi for some years and would be pleased to join such a
project.
