Follow the HowToInstall as if you were installing to D6. What has changed
is that D7 is now the "latest" version and Borland is following through on
its mysterious new convention (begun with D6) of not identifying its libs
by version.

So IBO follows that convention - read the details in HowToInstall and
substitute D7 for D6 in the instructions. So, for example, the core D7
runtime package source is named IBO40CRT.dpk, and the D6 one "recedes",
renamed to IBO40CRT_D6.dpk. I can see this getting progressively more
confusing...

Even simpler would be to use the IBO40_D7.bpg, since it has all of the
correctly named packages and dependencies in the proper order.

The updated HowToInstall doc should appear in the next couple of days - it
would be there already if I hadn't been battling for a week with a Trojan
horse robotic program on my NT box, that totally took over my i/o
ports. I'm currently rebuilding my system and should be clear to resume
the doc updates in a few hours.
