Re: MS Visual C++ and BDE

["N. Thomas Creighton" <tomc@lptg.com>]

I've done this before.  Basically, I wrapped up some components (TTable and
TQuery, etc.) in a C++ class, created a pure virtual base class with the methods
I wanted to support on each of those components, created a DLL using the Borland
tools, created what are essentially class factories (functions you call to
create an instance of a class) that return pointers to the abstract base class,
and then use those abstract base classes in the VC code.

Quick explanation, the devil is in the details.
