I have tired to compile some components and I keep getting errors saying it
can not locate the following files.  I am running BCB4 Standard.  Can
someone mail me these files or tell me how to correct this error? Thanks

Dan, before I answer your question, please allow me a remark: please do
not cross- or multi-post; people are not really fond of this and it leads
to all sorts of inefficiencies and confusion - major problems, in other
words.

The newsgroups guidelines (see http://www.borland.com/newsgroups/)
specifically mention this case; you might want to check them out.

Followup-to is set to borland.public.cppbuilder.non-technical

I am afraid, but Borland C++Builder 4.0 Standard does not ship with
database support (VCLDB40.LIB, VCLDBX40.LIB) and also does not ship with
the Borland Internet components (INET.LIB)

This would be a violation of copyright, so nobody is at a liberty to do
that.

Please do apply judgement when sending email.

Do the components really need these files? Component authors often
forget to trim down the list of packages that their component needs. You
can end up with controls that want to see the database packages, the
internet package, the midas package, and the decision cube package, even
though none of them are actually needed.

I found that the components I was using that returned these errors didn't
need these files at all.  Of course, that isn't necessarily true.  Anyway, I
got round the problem by simply removing the references to the files from
the makefile [ Project->View MakeFile ].  You'll then need to completely
recompile [ Build All ] and hopefully you'll be ok.

You can make your application totally stand alone by following
the following two steps:

  i) Goto Project->Options, Linker tab.  
     Uncheck "Use Dynamic RTL"
 ii) Goto Project->Options, Packages tab.
     Uncheck "Build with Runtime Packages"

This is a problem many people have.  I have no idea why borland
set the defaults of the compiler to need these files at
run time.

Fantastic! We've been fighting this one for quite a while. I have started a
Winshoes FAQ
http://www.pbe.com/Sourceworks/Winshoes/FAQ.html and added this as an item.
