Subj : OWL for Win32?

Hi!

A relative asked me for help concerning a program which was programmed with
an old version of Borland C++ compiler for Win3.11 (thus Win16-API). The
program uses OWL (object windows library).

The program worked well over several years (also in Win95 and Win NT). But
on Win XP some people have problems with it (my relative doesnīt have these
problems unfortunately). It is a scientific program, programmed by a former
colleague of my relative.

I think the best way would be to port the program to Win 32-API, but I donīt
know how much effort it would cost, as I donīt know the OWL library.

So I have some questions:
- Is the OWL still included in current Borland C++ environments? In which?
- How much effort would it take to port the program?
- Or do you recommend a different solution than porting it to Win 32-API
using a newer version of OWL?

Thanks,
 Andreas
