I spoke too soon. I am not sure I installed it correctly, and while the 
application was running it got hung up and I had to close Delphi. When I 
restarted, I got a series of errors. So I have Delphi running, and

(1) I select the A406_R40.dpk as a project
(2) I compile it. I don't see any indication that it did, but I think it was 
already compiled. I have the A406_R40.bpl in the packages folder, and the 
date/time is current.
(3) I click install but it gives me the error not a design time package. OK.
(4) I close the project.
(5) I choose to install the A406_D40.dcu. It tries to read it into the 
editor and truncates a line.
(6) I choose to install the A406_R40.dcu. It tells me the package was 
installed and components registered and they appear on the tabbed list. Now 
I can load the demo project and all is OK, for now.
(7) I exit Delphi, and then restart. It says the program can't start because 
A406_R40.bpl is missing from your system. Try reinstalling the program to 
fix this problem.
(8) Then another dialog box about trying to load it next time. I click no 
and I don't get the errors, but the components are gone until I reinstall 
them.

But the A406_R40.BPL is in the Delphi4\Lib folder and it has been updated. 
I'm not real excited about reinstalling Delphi and the upgrade patches and 
regenerating the various other components I have, but maybe that's what it 
will take. But for now, I'll just use the serial port component I have that 
seems to be working.

I don't fully understand the process of installing packages and components. 
Some other weird things also happened, where it complained that the file was 
already open in another editor, and the A406_D40 was added to the project 
and it complained it could not find the PAS file of that name.

Thanks,

Paul
