C++Builder. The controls include drop-down calendars & calculators,
roll-up dialogs, 3-D labels, tiled backgrounds, scrolling messages,
menu buttons, and more.

This is a source-only release of TurboPack Essentials. It includes
designtime and runtime packages for Delphi C++Builder. It supports WIn32 and Win64.

2. Package names


TurboPack Essentials package names have the following form:

EssentialsDR.bpl (Delphi Runtime)

The runtime package contains the core functionality of the product and

To install TurboPack Essentials into your IDE, take the following

     IDE's library path. For CBuilder, add the hpp subdirectory
     (e.g., d:\essence\source\hpp\Win32\Release) to the IDE's system include path.
