You can do a case-insensitive search in the dumped file for symbols which
appear in the header file.  That will determine the actual public names used
for the symbols, the names used as the right-hand argument in the alias
statements in your DEF file.

My FTP site requires a user name and password.  It does not support
anonymous uploading.  However I can take a zip file in email

I usually use the command line tools from BCB to work on programs, be they
GUI or console.  Those tools have the same names and, except for features
that have been added since, they work in the same way that the tools from
BC++ do.  In your case the most likely source of the problem is that of
using impdef and implib from BC++ instead of those from BCB 5 or 6 (as well
as not trying coff2omf.exe from BCB).
