Hi Paul.

The package I received from Jason/ibobjects was for BCB5, although I
did request one for BCB6 but I guess that doesn't matter. The zip
file contains one package named IBO40VRT_C5.bpl. When I open it in
builder6, builder converts it to the never builder6 format.

There isn't actually any bpg files in the archive I received
(4.2.1e), the only package file that exists in the project manager is
IBO40VRT_C5.bpl and when I build that one the error appears.

I do have the If_TEST file, so should I unzip that file to the same
folder as the previous one? I would appreciate if you could send the
file you mentioned that would fix a few problems.

There was a much larger zip-file named 4.2.1 along with files 4.2.1e
and 4.2.1f_TEST. Should I get 4.2.1 and unzip that to an empty IBO
folder and then unzip ...1e and later ...f_TEST to that very same
directory?
