   Aside from the different graphics, if the TP program uses files of   
   records which contain strings or integers, the record structure will   
   most likely have to use packed records with the integer type changed   
   to smallint and the string type to shortstring, otherwise the file   
   in most cases will not be readable. Unless you move to streams, file   
   handling is pretty much the same.   
      
   It's easier to figure out what needs to be displayed and write that   
   in Delphi rather than trying to translate TP line for line.   
      
   I don't think there is an easier way other than hiring someone else   
   to do it.
