 DR.BOB LAUNCHES HEADCONV 1.0 - C DLL HEADER CONVERTER EXPERT FOR DELPHI

 Helmond, The Netherlands -- Dr.Bob has announced he will launch the first
 C DLL Header Converter Expert for Delphi, HeadConv 1.0.

 Targeted at the serious Delphi developer, the HeadConv Expert will assist
 in the task of converting the C DLL header files to Delphi import units,
 giving all Delphi users access to the huge world of third-party C DLLs.

 HeadConv has full support for functions and procedures, argument and return
 types (128 custom type conversions) and generates implicit Delphi import
 units. The expert is integrated in the Delphi IDE, making the conversion
 very easy as the converted file is opened up in the IDE automatically. At
 this time there is limited (non-complex) support for typedefs, structs,
 unions, enums and conditional compilations. HeadConv is not targeted to do
 the conversion 100% on its own, rather it will assist in converting the C
 DLL header files!

 "The whole idea of a C header translator is really great. I think in the
 long run it will prove more useful than a VB-Delphi translator because so
 much of the useful low level code that is suitable for a compiled language
 like Delphi's ObjectPascal is written in C." said George Watson, a tester.

 Another beta tester was equally excited. "It already saved us two days of
 monkey work, even when not everything was converted 100% correctly."

 The shareware version of HeadConv 1.0 will be available directly from LIB 22
 of the DELPHI forum. Registrations can be made (US$ 25) in the SWREG forum
 (id #6533). All registered users will receive source code for the expert and
 stand-alone EXEs (source code for the parser is not provided!), a detailed
 WinHelp file, the capability for generating explicit import units, and the
 chance to send new wishes and receive regular updates by CompuServe mail
 when available.
