I have the demo version of BDS2006 and I want to install the latest ICS
(www.overbyte.be) suite into the C++ personality. How do I do it?
In BCB5, I could choose "Install Component" from the "Component" menu, and
then navigate to C:\ics\Delphi\Vc32\IcsBcb50.bpk
There does not seem to be anything like this in BDS2006. TIA,

to install it using the Delphi2006 procedure. That means loading and
compiling IcsDel100.bdsproj and specifying the 'generate all C++
headers' or something like stated in the readme file.

Can you tell me why you want to use ICS instead of Indy? I'm only
really interested in technical info, so if it's for personal or
political reasons I don't need the details.
Do they provide capabilities not supported by Indy? Do they work
better than Indy in some way? If so, any details would be
appreciated.
Right now all I use are the TIdHTTP and TIdFTP controls from Indy9 and
the TCppWebBrowser from BDS, but who knows what I may want to use in
the future. I am particularly interested in any way to embed the
Gecko engine in a BCB app without resorting to ActiveX, though I
expect that I would have heard if ICS provided this.
Thanks.

SMTP handler, and I've never used Indy before. The routine below knows
whether to keep the connection going if the host and username have not
changed from last time it was called. It assumes an appropriate object
called mjsmtp exists, which is the SMTP component itself :-
AnsiString mjemsend(AnsiString lk1,AnsiString lk2,AnsiString lk3,AnsiString
lk4,
AnsiString lk5,AnsiString lk6,AnsiString lk7,AnsiString
lk8)
{
static AnsiString olk3="$",olk4="$";
AnsiString rv="EMail Sent OK",er="**ERROR** MJSendMail: ";
int ii,ctr=100,ctr2=400,gran=70,tsiz=lk6.Length();
if (!mjsmtp) return er+"No Email Component";
mjsmtp->RcptName->Text=mjrepall(lk1,";","\r\n",true); mjsmtp->HdrFrom=lk2;
mjsmtp->HdrTo=lk1;
mjsmtp->HdrSubject=lk5; mjsmtp->MailMessage->Text=lk6; mjsmtp->SignOn=lk4;
mjsmtp->FromName=lk2;
mjsmtp->EmailFiles->Text=lk7; mjsmtp->Host=lk3;
for (ii=0;ii<mjsmtp->EmailFiles->Count;++ii)
tsiz+=mjflsize(mjsmtp->EmailFiles->Strings[ii]);
ii=0; ctr2=max(ctr2,tsiz/10/gran);
try
{
if (olk3!=lk3 || olk4!=lk4 || !mjsmtp->Connected)
{
if (mjsmtp->Connected)
{
mjsmtp->Quit(); ii=0;
while (mjsmtp->State!=smtpReady && mjsmtp->State!=smtpAbort &&
ii<ctr) { mjdelay(gran); ++ii;}
}
mjsmtp->Open(); ii=0; olk3=lk3; olk4=lk4;
while (mjsmtp->State!=smtpReady && mjsmtp->State!=smtpAbort && ii<ctr)
{ mjdelay(gran); ++ii;}
}
if (mjsmtp->State==smtpAbort || ii>=ctr) rv=er+"Open Aborted";
else
{
mjsmtp->Mail(); ii=0;
while (mjsmtp->State!=smtpReady && mjsmtp->State!=smtpAbort &&
ii<ctr2) { mjdelay(gran); ++ii;}
if (mjsmtp->State==smtpAbort || ii>=ctr2) rv=er+"Mail Aborted";
}
}
catch (Exception &excp) { rv=er+excp.Message;}
ii=atoi(lk8.c_str()); if (ii>0) mjdelay(ii);
return rv+" "+Now().DateTimeString();
}
It also sets timeouts dependent on email size. It is short and sweet, and
I'm not sure Indy could do it like this. There are no event handlers
required here. Can Indy do that?

BCB versions prior to BDS 2006. I was using it for a one project that
included intercomputer communication and was quite satisfied. The main
difference is that ICS uses non-blocking sockets while Indy uses common
sockets.
If I had to choose again I would choose ICS.
