If you use the components, you must register by sending a picture postcard showing the area you lives in and some beautiful stamps for my kids who are stamp collectors. Do not use an envelop, I collect USED postcards sent to me. Address your card to: Francois PIETTE, rue de Grady 24, 4053 Embourg, Belgium. Don't forget to mention your name, address and EMail. Installation: ------------- The zip file has subdirectories in it. You must use the pkunzip -d option to restore this directory tree or you will have problems because the files will not be in their proper subdirectories. This is the subdirectory layout: .\ Info directory .\delphi\internet Delphi sample applications (all Delphi versions) .\cpp\internet C++Builder sample applications .\cpp\internet\bcb1 C++Builder version 1 projects .\cpp\internet\bcb3 C++Builder version 3 projects .\cpp\internet\bcb4 C++Builder version 4 projects .\cpp\internet\bcb5 C++Builder version 5 projects .\cpp\internet\bcb6 C++Builder version 6 projects .\delphi\vc Delphi 1.x files (winsock.pas 16 bits and *.dcr) .\delphi\vc32 Delphi (1/2/3/4/5/6/7) and C++Builder (1/3/4/5/6) components .\Delphi1 Automated build for Delphi 1. Not for beginners. .\Delphi2 Automated build for Delphi 2. Not for beginners. .\Delphi3 Automated build for Delphi 3. Not for beginners. .\bcb1 Automated build for Bcb 1. Not for beginners. DELPHI 7: Directory VC32 contains IcsDel70.dpk which is a package source for all components. Using Delphi, do a file/open, select *.dpk and browse to the VC32 directory. Select IcsDel70.dpk and open it. Then click on the Install button. You should see the FPiette tab on the component gallery. Add VC32 directory path to your library path (Tools menu / Environment Options / Library / Library Path. Add VC32 path at the and of the existing path). Once the package is installed, you may open the sample projects. There is a project group called Del70Sam.bpg which has all sample programs. Open it with file/open, browse to the Internet directory, select and open Del70Sam.bpg. Then Project/Build all projects. You'll get all sample programs compiled. It is likely that for each project, Delphi complains about a missing .res file. This is not a problem, Delphi will recreate it as needed. They have not been included to save space in the zip file. Note 1: Delphi may run out of memory if you ask to compile all projects at once. If you have not enough RAM, then compile each project individually. Note 2: Delphi 7 has new warnings which triggers a lot of messages for 100% OK code. You can turn those warnings off in the project/ options / Compiler messages and deselecting: "Deprecated symbol", "Platform symbol", "usafe type", "unsafe code", "usafe typecast". Those are intended for .NET and Linux portability. You can safely ignore them if you run windows. For you facility, I included ics7spec.zip with project options files having disabled those messages. Unzip it in the same directory as the whole ICS, restoring directory tree present in zip file. DELPHI 6: Same installation as Delphi 7. Files are IcsDel60.dpk and Del60Sam.bpg. (Note 2 doesn't apply to Delphi 6). DELPHI 5: Same installation as Delphi 6. Files are IcsDel50.dpk and Del50Sam.bpg. DELPHI 4: Same installation as Delphi 5. Files are IcsDel40.dpk and Del40Sam.bpg. DELPHI 3: Same installation as Delphi 5. Files are IcsDel30.dpk. Del30Sam.bpg doesn't exists because project group was introduced with Delphi 4. Open each project individually (*.dpr). DELPHI 2: Directory VC32 contains all components. You must add all those components into your library. But warning: not all files are components. Only those with a Register procedure are components. Other are just support files and must not be installed as components. To install a component file, do Component/Install, then click on the Add button, then click on the Browse button and browse to the VC32 directory. Select a component file such as wsocket.pas and click on OK. Do it again for all component files and finally click OK button on the Install Component dialog window. Your library will be rebuilt. You should see the tab FPiette added to your component gallery. Once the components are all installed, you may open the sample projects each one after the other and compile them. For each project, do file/open and select the dpr file in the internet directory. Then Project/Build All. DELPHI 1: The install procedure is the same as for Delphi 2. But you must add the directory VC into the library path before VC32 directory which will be added automatically when you add the first component source. VC directory in the library path is needed because Delphi 1 doesn't have built in winsock support. ICS contains winsock.pas in VC directory to add winsock support. VC directory also contains 16 bits component resource files (*.dcr) needed by Delphi 1. VC32 contains the 32 bits resource files. If you use only Delphi 1, you can safely copy all files from VC to VC32 directory, but not the contrary. Once the components are all installed, you may open the sample projects each one after the other and compile them. For each project, do file/open and select the dpr file in the internet directory. Then Project/Build All. BCB6: follow BCB4 instruction below. Package is IcsBcb60.bpk and samples project group is Bcb60Sam.bpg. Directory is ...\internet\bcb6. BCB5: follow BCB4 instruction below. Package is IcsBcb50.bpk and samples project group is Bcb50Sam.bpg. Directory is ...\internet\bcb5. BCB4: First you need to install all components. There is a package in
