NexusDB and Delphi 4?

HI

Is it possible to install NexusDB into Delphi 4?
I have a conversion of data I need to do from an old old App.
I only have the VCL for D4.

regards
Brenton

What does this mean? You only have D4, or you only have the source for the
project for D4?

If you have a later version of Delphi, why not just load the old project in
a new Delphi that does have Nexus installed?

Or is there some sort of problem with old third party components?

You only have the dcu's and what do you want to do with NexusDB in the IDE?
I would have thought that without the .pas files you'd be in trouble anyway!

Maybe your best bet here is to get some sort of reverse-engineering tool and
apply that on the dcu's!

We have old projects in D3, D4, D5, D6, D7
- Just the type of one off projects that we do and we only upgrade when we
need to add features.

Unfortunately we only have DCU files for the old database for D4.

Use D4 to create a small DLL that can be used to read the old data, and
create a program in D5 or newer that uses the DLL to read.

The trip to the ADUG Delphi.Net conference in Sydney went fine, thanks. We
met with a lot of other Delphi users, other component vendors, and
Borlanders. We had a small presentation by our marketing guru Geoff
yesterday... <g>

.... or just write a small export tool to dump the data to disk, and write a
small import tool to import into NexusDB.
