==============================================
1. Introduction
For help files and a PDF manual, please see the tpapro_docs package on
SourceForge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/tpapro).
==============================================
2. Package names
TurboPower AsyncPro source package names (*.dpk) have the following form:
TurboPower AsyncPro compiled package names (*.bpl) have the following form
AsyncPro_<Compiler>.bpl -- Run-time package.
dclAsyncPro_<Compiler>.bpl -- Design-time package.
==============================================
3. Installation
To install TurboPower AsyncPro into your IDE, take the following steps:
1. Unzip the release files into a directory (e.g.,
v:\Projects\TurboPower\AsyncPro\5).
2. Start Delphi.
This step needs to be repeated for each compiler that you want to install
AsyncPro into.
3. If you wish to debug-step into AsycPro source, then you can add the
source subdirectory (e.g., v:\Projects\TurboPower\AsyncPro\5\run) to the IDE's
library path. This step is optional.
This step needs to be repeated for each compiler that you want to install
AsyncPro into.
3.1 For Delphi 7 and Delphi 2005, you also need to add the
'<YourAproPath>\run\D2005- dfm' directory. This needs to come ealier in the
library path list than the run directory.
3.2 For Delphi 2006 and Delphi 2007, you also need to add the
'<YourAproPath>\run\D2006,7 dfm' directory. This needs to come ealier in the
library path list than the run directory.
NOTE: For Delphi 2009 and higher, steps 3.1 and 3.2 are unnecessary.
4. For both packages, run-time and design-time, open the project options and set
the DCU, DCP and BPL output directories, as indicated in the notes below,
according to your local developmental environment.
This step needs to be repeated for each compiler that you want to install
AsyncPro into.
7. Set up the default run-time packages list to include AsyncPro. This step is
only
needed if you want to compile your applications with "Build-with-packages"
checked.
Close all packages, projects and files. Open the project default options as
indicated in the notes below.
This step needs to be repeated for each compiler that you want to install
AsyncPro into. If Build-with-packages is unchecked, you may need to
temporarily
check it. Once checked, add AsyncPro to the list, if it is not already there.
