Thanks for the tip.
Sorry for the imprecise names. I currently own Delphi 2005 Pro, as
well as having recently d/l'ed Turbo Deplhi (2006) Explorer, which
I'd prefer to use for my Delphi (OP) work, only because presumably
it's not only later, but greater.
Also, if I can get by without 3rd party visual components, presumably
I can continue to upgrade to next year's version, as they come out.
