chris,

your presumption was actually wrong. You should use the packages with no
_D<whatever> extension.
Jason has taken advantage of the fact that, in Delphi 6, you just call
the package source IBO40CRT.dpk and set its Options/Lib Suffix to '_D6'
to create IBO40CRT_D6.bpl. Package sources stay the same, just compiled
files change name at will.

BTW, my HowToInstall.txt says this:

> NOTE: Beginning with Delphi 6 the suffix _D6 will not be required on package files.

I'd specify "package *source* files".

Having said that, if you open the IBO40_D6.bpg project group, you should
find a list of bpl packages (*with* the _D6 suffix, see above) to
compile. Do a Build All Projects and you're on your way.

Having compiled the D5 packages, you'll have some garbage to get rid of
before you can successfully compile the right packages.

Oh, and get out that $DELPHI\ToolsAPI from your path; design time stuff
like that should not be recompiled.

That means you have the correct distribution after all. ;-)
