The ad I saw in PC Magazine mentions a conversion
utility which will allow you to convert much of the code for TP 3.0
to allow it to run under TP 4.0.  I'm not aware of what the specific
differerences are.  When I called to order my upgrade I asked if the toolboxes
had been enhanced or if they performed the same functions with 4.0
conversion already done, as opposed to me converting the toolbox
code I already have.  I was told that if I convert the code I have
then I will be using an unsupported package since Borland cannot 
be certain that I didn't introduce bugs in the code when 
I changed it.  Other than that the toolboxes seem to be unchanged.
