1. General Application Deployment

===========================================================

C++Builder 6 applications do not require a runtime interpreter

DLL. All you have to provide is your .EXE file and any DLLs

or BPLs that it calls. For simple applications you can

distribute a standalone .EXE file. If you have used runtime

packages with your application, be sure to include all

required BPLs with the distribution. If you build using the dynamic

Run-Time Library, you will also have to distribute one or more of the

Run-Time Library DLLs CC3260.DLL or CC3260MT.DLL and the memory

manager Dlls BORLNDMM.DLL, BCBMM.DLL or DELPHIMM.DLL. Applications

that use MFC may also need BFC42.DLL or BFC42D.DLL.  Those using

STLPort will require redistribution of STLP45.DLL and/or STLPMT45.DLL.

For applications that use the Borland Database Engine (BDE),

you must use a Borland-certified installation/deployment utility,

such as InstallShield Express.

If you use InstallShield, treat .BPL (package) files just

like other DLLs. From the Setup Checklist, open Groups and

Files, then click Add Group. You can create a group called

"Packages" for BPLs; to install packages in the

Windows\System directory, choose <WINSYSDIR> as the destination directory. (We recommend installing .DLL and .BPL

files in the <Operating System>\System or \System 32directory.)

Then click Launch Explorer to select the .BPL files you want to deploy.

If the license for C++Builder that accompanied this file was acquired

as an educational or for scholarly purpose, distribution of any files for any

commercial or institutional use is prohibited.  Performing research in

an educational setting or producing coursework required in pursuit of

a degree or certificate of credential at an educational institution is

permitted.

2. Components and Packages

===========================================================

2.1 Distributing Custom Packages

-------------------------------If you distribute C++Builder 6 packages to other developers, be

sure to supply both .BPI and any .LIB files to which your packages

link.

You will probably

also want to include .OBJ and .DCU files as well as documentation.

Package Collection (.DPC) files, created with the Package

Collection Editor, offer a convenient way to distribute all

the files associated with a package or group of packages.

2.2 Borland Runtime Packages

---------------------------In accordance with the General Terms That Apply to Compiled

Programs and Redistributables, you may redistribute

Borland-supplied runtime packages only for the purpose of

executing application programs created with C++Builder. You may

not modify these packages in any way. By default the

redistributable runtime packages are installed in the

system-files directory of the computer (commonly this is

the \windows\system on Windows9x, \WINNT\System32 on

Windows NT, 2000 or XP computers).

Although this software may include packages other than

those listed below, only the packages identified below

as redistributable may be redistributed by you.  The package

filenames identified below should be considered to be

case-insensitive.

You may NOT redeploy Borland-supplied design-time-only

packages. You may not recompile or redistribute any

Borland-supplied components or libraries for use by other

developers.

Packages that you develop may not have the same names as

Borland-supplied packages. If you distribute component

libraries or other packages, it is recommended that you

avoid using the default DCLUSR60 package name, since this

will cause naming conflicts with other developers.

2.6 Restrictions on CLXDisplay API (Qt.pas) Usage

--------------------------------------------------CLXDisplay API, the Qt.pas interface to the Qt runtime, is

only licensed for use in VisualCLX applications or a

component that derives from TControl in the QControls

unit. A VisualCLX application is an application that

uses the TApplication object and uses at least one

component derived from TControl. You are not licensed

to use Qt.pas to create applications or components that

exclusively call the Qt.pas interfaces. A separate commercial

development license from Trolltech

is required for use of Qt.pas in any manner other than

authorized above.

3. The Borland Database Engine (BDE)

===========================================================

C++Builder 6 applications that use the Borland Database Engine

(BDE) to effect database access require that you distribute

the BDE with the application.

In accordance with the Additional License Terms for BDE,

you may distribute the BDE files with your application

using an Borland-certified Redistributable Install program

such as InstallShield Express or another compliant install

program. You may redistribute only those BDE files selected

by the Borland-certified installation program.

Additionally, Borland supplies a BDE merge module that is an

approved mechanism for deploying BDE.  This module may be used

with any Windows Installer (MSI) development tool (such as

InstallShield for Windows Installer, Wise for Windows

Installer and others).  The merge module includes the base

BDE and SQL Links appropriate to the version of C++Builder

purchased.

See the BDE Links deployment notes in the file

BDEDEPLOY.TXT (found in the BDE directory) for specific

information regarding deploying the BDE with database

applications created in C++Builder.

4. ActiveX Controls (OCXs)

===========================================================

C++Builder includes ActiveX Controls (OCXs) for use in your

applications:

o Chart FX, copyright SoftwareFX Inc.

o VisualSpeller Control, copyright Visual Components,

Inc.

o Formula One (spreadsheet), copyright Visual Components,

Inc.

o First Impression (VtChart), copyright Visual

Components, Inc.

The version of each of these OCXs shipped with C++Builder may

be redistributed in custom C++Builder applications. Such

redistribution is subject to the General Terms That Apply

to Compiled Programs and Redistributables.

5. Sample Images

===========================================================

C++Builder includes a library of redistributable bitmap images

normally installed in the subdirectory:

\Program Files\Common Files\Borland Shared\Images

C++Builder also includes a database EVENTS.DB with licensed

images from PhotoDisc. The images in this database are

copyright PhotoDisc, Inc. 1995 and may not be

redistributed.

6. InterBase Deployment

===========================================================

6.1 Applications that Use the 32-bit Local InterBase

---------------------------------------------------C++Builder Enterprise and Professional editions include
