The documentation appears to be for an earlier commercial version. The=20
download is for version 5.00:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/tpapro/

The readme states:

where <Compiler> is one of:
  <D7>        -- for Delphi 7.
  <D2005>     -- for Delphi 2005.  (win 32 target).
  <D2007>     -- for Delphi 2006 and Delphi 2007.
  <D2010>     -- for Delphi 2010.

And the document PDFs in the download are for older versions from around =

2001 where D3 was specified.

Hopefully the ComDrv32 package will meet my needs. I'll have a better =
idea=20
if I use it in my www.ortmaster.com software, but that's a major project =
and=20
unfortunately not designed well enough to make the conversion easy. It =
was=20
my first Delphi project (~2003) and for quite while I did not have a =
proper=20
grasp of OOP. And I'm still weak in that aspect of programming. I made =
my=20
first Windows app using BorlandC++, but I also had C4 and a friend uses=20
Delphi professionally and recommended that I use it.

The other library I found specifies D5 and above in the readme file, but =
the=20
packages include packages for D3 and D4:
    package CPortLib4;

Thanks,
