Turbopower offers no support for converting a older version to to a new
compiler.
Having said that, the steps to convert a package.
1. Answer Yes to make it a D7 Package
2. Remove all of the required packages and when you compile the compiler/ide
will suggest
which ones to add.
3. You may have to update compiler defines to match D7 requirements usually
found in a INC file.

However, your on your own and if it does not work you might not be able to
get support for your
changes.

I would suggest upgrading to the latest version which supports D7 without
any problems or headaches.

Thanks for your help Robert

Yes I agree that upgrading is the way to go.

However, when one survives on a disability pension it is impossible to
justify the cost of upgrading ALL the TP products.

I no longer earn income from my programming and it is now only a hobby for
me to keep my mind active.
