User Reviews
The support from Vidar and his team is fantastic! I managed to migrate a large application from OWLNEXT 6.32.5 to OWLNEXT 7 in just a few hours. If you have legacy Borland C++ 5.02 code (or similar) and want to migrate it into the modern age without re-writing everything, then get OWLNEXT. There is some learning curve but the effort is definitely worth it. It also means you can use Microsoft Visual Studio (I was using 2010 but just moved to 2022) as your development environment which is a massive improvement over Borland's IDE.
