C++Builder Deployment README File
=================================

This file provides information on deploying C++Builder applications
in the following sections:

1) BORLAND C++BUILDER
2) BORLAND DATABASE ENGINE
3) ACTIVEX CONTROLS
4) SAMPLE IMAGES


NOTE: Borland C++Builder includes a redistributable license to
      deploy royalty-free applications as well as Borland Database
      Engine (BDE).


1) BORLAND C++BUILDER
=====================

  C++Builder applications do not require a run-time interpreter
  DLL. All you have to provide is your .EXE file, and any DLLs that
  it calls.

  Note:  Before deploying your application, it is a good idea to
         build a release version of the application.  The default
         project builds a debug version of your application.  To
         change this, go to Options | Project | C++, and click on
         the Release button.

  You can provide an installation utility for your application, or
  simply tell your users how to install it themselves. You should
  run the installation utilities for BDE in your application install
  program. Several third party companies provide installation and
  setup utilities for C++Builder applications.

  32-bit Redistributable Files
  ----------------------------
    CP3230MT.DLL
    BCBMM.DLL


2) BORLAND DATABASE ENGINE
==========================

  Borland Database Engine (BDE) Redistributable Files
  ---------------------------------------------------
  In accordance with the Additional License Terms of this
  product, you can distribute the Borland Database Engine
  files with your application using a Borland certified
  Redistributable Install program such as InstallShield
  Express or other compliant install programs.  You can
  redistribute only those BDE files selected by the Borland
  certified install program.

  Borland products which include redistribution rights
  include a Borland certified install program, such as
  InstallShield Express, to ensure proper installation and
  de-installation of your applications so that they co-exist
  well with other applications which use the Borland Database
  Engine including those created with dBase, Paradox, Delphi
  Borland C++, and Borland C++Builder.

  InstallShield Express also makes it easy to properly
  distribute subsets of the Borland Database Engine.  This  is
  useful, for example, if you want to distribute an
  application that will only use Paradox tables and you don't
  want to include additional files for dBase support.

  From time to time, Borland may, at its discretion, certify
  additional installation programs for use as the Borland
  Certified Install Program for this product.  To obtain a
  current list of Borland Certified Install programs, check
  Borland's Web site at http://www.borland.com, Borland's
  CompuServe forum for this product, and Borland's Download
  BBS (408-431-5096).

  Note that since we allow deployment of Borland Database
  Engine files and subsets using a Borland Certified Install
  Program, we don't otherwise allow deployment of the
  individual BDE files.  There are several important reasons
  for this:

    * Improper installation of BDE or BDE subsets can cause
      other applications using BDE to fail.  Such applications not
      only include Borland products such as Paradox and dBASE, but
      many other applications using BDE such as those built with
      Borland C++ and Delphi. 

    * Windows 95 and Windows NT now have stringent un-install
      requirements for MS logo certification.  Un-installation of 
      BDE components is especially complex, and if not done
      correctly will violate logo requirements and can cause 
      applications to fail.

    * Windows 95 and Windows NT use the registry instead of .INI
      files, and making the correct entries and deletions for
      install and un-install is another complex task.

  By working closely with Borland Certified Install
  Program providers, we can ensure that all the BDE
  installation, registry, and un-install issues are handled
  correctly in all cases including subsets of the BDE.


3) ACTIVEX CONTROLS
===================

  Borland C++Builder includes various ActiveX Controls (OCXs) for use in
  your applications.  They may include:

    ChartFX (TM), OCX, SoftwareFX.

    Graphics Server (TM) copyright 1990 Bits Per Second Ltd., portions
    copyright 1993-1995 Pinnacle Publishing, Inc.

    Formula One Spreadsheet (TM) Version 3.0 32bit OCX, Visual Components, Inc.

    Visual Speller (TM) Version 2.0 32bit OCX, Visual Components, Inc.

    First Impression (RTM) Version 2.0 32bit OCX, Visual Components, Inc.

  The version of each of these ActiveX controls shipped with C++Builder may 
  be redistributed in custom C++Builder applications.  Such redistribution
  is subject to the Additional License Terms for Development Products.


4) SAMPLES IMAGES
=================

  Borland C++Builder includes a library of freely distributable images
  normally installed under the subdirectory \IMAGES.

  In addition Borland C++Builder also includes a database EVENTS.DB with
  licensed images from PhotoDisc.  The images in this database are
  copyright PhotoDisc, Inc. 1995 and may not be redistributed.
