Actually, no it was missing. I discovered that then created it.

I ran CCleaner 2.2 (free software) and it found and fixed 16 missing files &
possibly some other problems.
The running Delphi 7 Enterprise worked okay. The issue I have with it is that
when I opened any other .exe with WINE then Delphi 7 would open TWICE !!!
I decided to uninstall Delphi 7. I still have the BDE Administrator and Data
Pump installed. They seem to work fine.
I also have Delphi 5 Enterprise installed with SP2
And I am using Free Pascal for Linux Ubuntu and Free Lazarus for Linux Ubuntu
which is a RAD compatible with Delphi
I intend to use Lazarus for Cross Platform Freeware Open Source Game
development and I already have more than a dozen Delphi 5 and 7 games which I
have fully debugged and the source code archived. About 6 or more of these have
already been ported to Lazarus.

(This page does not display on my computer for some reason, but it is the info
on converting Delphi to Lazarus)
