The product is Turbo Delphi. The Explorer edition doesn't allow 
non-Borland packages to be installed. The Professional edition does. 
Delphi 2006 is its own product. There is no product called Delphi 2006 
Turbo.

Yes. Create instances of your components the same as you'd create 
instances of any other class:

Instance := TComponent.Create(nil);

Feel free to specify an owner for the component if you want, instead of nil.

Since it probably doesn't need to descend from TComponent, you may as 
well just make it descend from TObject instead.
