We've got an app that uses several 3rd party libs:

* Developers Express (grid, tab page control, etc)
* Dream Controls (scripter, dcmemo, etc)
* TurboPower (Orpheus, SysTools, etc)

I'm being asked to port this app to Kylix. The controls used from the
above libraries were chosen for specific reasons, and it would be
difficult to replace them with standard components. I'm not sure if the
above are even available as CLX libs, but in any case, I'm wondering how
people approach moving apps from Delphi into Kylix, particularly in
situations where the some of the controls used might not be available in
CLX versions?

Thanks
-David

ps: I had some weird troubles with the IDE after installing the open
source versions of several of the TurboPower libs. Installing the same
versions from their CD with a license key worked fine.
