1. General Application Deployment
===========================================================
Delphi 6 applications do not require an interpreter DLL.
In general, 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. CLX applications
are an exception to this as you must always redistribute
qtintf.dll. If you have used runtime packages with your
application, be sure to include all required BPLs with your
distribution.
2. Components and Packages
===========================================================
2.1 Distributing Custom Packages
--------------------------------
If you distribute Delphi 6 packages to other developers, be
sure to supply both .DCP and .BPL files. You will probably
also want to include .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 Delphi. 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 Windows98 or Me, \WINNT\System32 on
Windows NT and Windows 2000 computers).
Although this software may include packages other than
those listed below, only the packages identified below
as redistributable may be redistributed by you.
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.
2.3 Runtime packages: Enterprise Editions

vclsmp60.bpl
vclx60.bpl
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)
===========================================================
Delphi 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 Delphi
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 Delphi.
4. ActiveX Controls (OCXs)
===========================================================
Delphi 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 Delphi may
be redistributed in custom Delphi applications. Such
redistribution is subject to the General Terms That Apply
to Compiled Programs and Redistributables.
5. Sample Images
===========================================================
Delphi includes a library of redistributable bitmap images
normally installed in the subdirectory:
\Program Files\Common Files\Borland Shared\Images
Delphi 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
----------------------------------------------------
Delphi Enterprise and Professional editions include a
development license for Local InterBase. They do not,
however, include rights for deployment or redistribution of
any InterBase component. To deploy InterBase applications,
you must purchase Deployment Kits, available separately
from Borland. For more information on InterBase, see
Borland's World Wide Web site at http://www.borland.com,
or contact your local Borland sales office.
6.2 The 32-bit five-user InterBase Server
-----------------------------------------
Delphi Enterprise contains the 32-bit five-user Inter-
Base Server for Windows 95. (This server also runs under
Windows NT.) Purchase of Delphi, however, does not
include deployment or redistribution rights for any
InterBase Server files. Customers who wish to deploy
InterBase Server applications must separately purchase
individual copies of the InterBase Server, available
separately from Borland. For more information on InterBase,
see Borland's World Wide Web site at http://www.borland.com,
or contact your local Borland sales office.
7. DataSnap applications (formerly MIDAS)
===========================================================
The Delphi 6 Enterprise edition includes a development
license for the DataSnap. DataSnap comprises the Business
ObjectBroker, the Remote DataBroker, and the
ConstraintBroker Manager (SQL Explorer). Purchase of Delphi
Enterprise edition, however, does not include deployment
rights for this software. Customers who wish to deploy
applications that use DataSnap must purchase a separate
license for each server on which DataSnap is installed.
Handle the installation of the executable and related files
for a multi-tier application the same as for general
applications. Some of the files that comprise DataSnap may
need to be installed on the client computer and others on
the server computer.
For the Remote DataBroker and ConstraintBroker portions of
DataSnap, the file MIDAS.DLL must be installed onto the
client computer and registered with Windows. On the server
computer, the files MIDAS.DLL and STDVCL40.DLL must be
installed and registered for the Remote DataBroker and
DBEXPLOR.EXE for the ConstraintBroker. Installation
programs such as InstallShield Express automate the process
of registering these DLLs. To manually register the DLLs,
use the TRegSvr demo application or the Microsoft utility
REGSERV32.EXE (not included with all Windows versions).
A server deployment license is not required for deploying
MIDAS.DLL and STDVCL40.DLL in an application in which
the client and server reside on the same machine. These two
files are the Client Dataset Redistributables referred to
in the License Statement.
For more information on DataSnap, see Borland's World Wide Web
site at the URL below, or contact your local Borland sales
office.
http://www.borland.com/datasnap/
For a list of files and components in DataSnap, see:
http://www.borland.com/ datasnap /papers/components.html
8. WebSnap Application Deployment
===========================================================
If you created your application as a Web App Debugger
executable, you will fist have to convert it to an
ISAPI DLL, CGI executable, or Apache Shared Module. To
deploy your DLL or EXE to a web server, you will have to
place your application in a directory that has executable
rights. With Internet Information Services (IIS) this is
typically C:\Inetpub\Scripts. For each WebModule in your
application, you must copy the associated HTML file to the
same directory as your EXE/DLL. By default, the associated
HTML file is simply the WebModule unit's name with .html
as the extension.
Additionaly, you must register both WebBrokerScript.tlb
and stdvcl40.dll on the web server. TLB files cannot be
registerd with the Microsoft regsvr32 program, but must
be registerd with tregsvr, located in the Delphi bin
directory. You can copy tregsvr to the web server, and
register the files with:
tregsvr WebBrokerScript.tlb
and
tregsvr stdvcl40.dll
Finally, WebSnap applications require the Microsoft Active
Scripting Engine in order to work. It is included with
Internet Explorer 5, and is installed by default on Windows
2000 machines. To download the Scripting Engine, visit:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/scripting/
9. VisiBroker
===========================================================
This product does not include deployment rights for the
VisiBroker CORBA ORB. When deploying an application
requiring CORBA services, you must first obtain VisiBroker
Deployment licenses, available separately from Borland.
For more information on VisiBroker, see Borland's World
Wide Web site at the URL below, or contact your local
Borland sales office.

10. SQL Links deployment (Enterprise edition only)
===========================================================
10.1 SQL Links redistributable files
-----------------------------------
See the BDE/SQL Links deployment notes in the file
BDEDEPLOY.TXT (found in the BDE directory) for specific
information regarding redeploying the SQL Links software.
(SQL Links is available only with the Delphi 6 Enterprise
