Mida: Anybody here have experience with Mida Studio 5.x?

[David Schwartz 426]

Mida is a tool that was written to simplify translating VCL apps to run under Firemonkey.

 

It evolved to the point where V5.x Studio edition started supporting arbitrary rewriting of components without requiring VCL->FMX. I'm looking at using it to translate a bunch of VCL apps that use Allround Automation's DOA Oracle components to use PgDAC components instead. It looks like it should do the trick, but it requires a file in INI format that isn't clearly documented.

 

They have some examples for BDE, FD, and a couple others. 

 

But I can't find any detailed explanation of how to go about creating the .mida file for something else, or even how to set one up. Are they built entirely by hand? Or does the Studio version let you build them somehow?

They're a little slow on responding to support requests; the videos on YouTube haven't been updated since V2 was released; and I can't find any help files or documentation anywhere. (I have a licensed version of V5.6 Studio.)

 

So I thought I'd ask here and see if anybody has any experience they can share.
