You're connecting directly to forums.borland.com or newsgroups.borland.com, and not via your ISP's news service, right? Many people who post there using Outlook Express seem to confuse the field for their own name with the name they give to the account in OE, so we see messages that appear to be from "Borland" or "Borland newsgroups." Maybe that's related. You've told OE to post in text mode and not HTML, right? > Next, in trying to add some components via the dpk or bpl's that I > had for D2005 and for which I do have the source code, I'm getting errors > each time on compile due to the IDE not being able to locate the rtl in the > requires clauses.

Around version 6 or 7, Borland added the capability for the compiler to figure out whether "rtl" means "rtl70" or "rtl90" based on which version of Delphi is doing the compiling. Previous versions required the full package name, and so you frequently see one DPK file for each supported Delphi version. The project options for the package should have something related to prefixes and suffixes for package names. Make sure they're not set to anything that looks fishy. -- Rob __________________________________________________ Delphi-Talk mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi-talk
