What exactly are you looking for? Would creating a new project in BCB
and adding source code work?

This is what I don't know !
I was supplied source codes in Visual C++ for a Biometric capture system
The extensions of the file are

vcproj
cpp
rc
h

Which should I include in the C++Builder unit.h or rename ?
Supplier does only Visual C++

vcproj

That is the main project file. You can't use that in BCB. Create a new
project fresh.

cpp
rc
h

Those you can use as-is. Simply add them to the new project. The
particular code may need tweaking to work properly in the Borland compiler,
though.

I'm amazed!
I never would have dreamed that the conversion would be this easy. I
expected to hear that he was in for a 6 mo. job.

Well JohnC, the project sounded pretty simple. If, on the other hand, it
included a number of WinForms, DB access and MFC, then 6 months sounds
pretty optimistic ;-)
