It is on the Downloads page, under Documentation. Its name is
How_To_Install.txt

It's not in IBO4.zip. How-to docs are currently maintained and built
independently of code builds. If you got the eval version from the
InterBase or IBPhoenix CD, there is an HTML page dedicated to installing,
which you can print out.

I maintain versions for three Delphi versions on the same box. I keep
three completely separate "IBO root dirs": ibo_d4, ibo_d5 and ibo_d6. (I
don't have D7.)

All library output goes to $DELPHI\Projects\bpl (which are separate for
each Delphi version, of course). You will have overwriting problems if you
allow the BPL output path to default to %system%

In all cases, I create a dcp directory where I send the dcp output. The
dcus stay in the same folder as the sources in each case. This isn't
essential...if you don't specify a dcp output path, the dcps will go to the
same dir as the bpls. My reason for separating them is that D4 and D5 are
installed on my C-drive, which is a relatively small partition.
