   Dear,   
      
   I think that Prolog++ is ideal for this problem becouse in   
   prolog program is set of facts and rules and gramar,   
   and syntactics of Delphi program is given as set of   
   facts and conditionals...   
   But I think that this is still big problem to solve....   
      
                                               Thanks , Robert !
