Oh-oh-oh - right....these 4.5 Eval kits are betas. I didn't know the 4.5
Ah Eval kit suffered from these problems. (The 4.5 Ai one sure does!!) I
can't access any of the 4.5 Ah pieces currently, they seem have been
removed from the source server.

There is a file named How_To_Install.txt, which has detailed instructions
for installing from the BPG file. (You should find the file IBO40_D5.bpg
in your IBO root directory). I've just uploaded the doc to the Files area
of this list. (Registration isn't a problem - there's a *reg.pas file for
each of the packages).

Now, I tried a BPG install for D7/IBO 4.5Ai Eval, and it fell over with
mismatches in some of the DCU files. I can only suggest that you grab the
document and see how you get on with the 4.5Ah stuff..

Sorry I can't be more helpful at the moment. Last time Jason communicated
with me about it, pre-Christmas, he was trying to sort out some problems
with the installers.
