I. Introduction

FastReport comes with precompiled *.dcu, *.bpl, *.dcp files. Installation
program puts the runtime packages to the system folder and installs other
packages into the Delphi. You don't need to install anything manually.
However, if you change FR sources, change the language resources, or have
another version of TeeChart, IBX or any standard Delphi components, you'll
need to recompile FR packages.

FastReport includes several packages, divided into runtime and design-time
parts. Design-time packages have 'dcl' prefix in the package name. Each
package has a number, corresponding to the Delphi version. For example,
dclfrx4.dpk is a design-time package for Delphi4. Here is a list of
runtime packages used by FastReport ('*' denotes a Delphi version):

fs*.dpk     - FastScript, main package
fsDB*.dpk   - FastScript, DB classes and controls
fsBDE*.dpk  - FastScript, BDE components
fsADO*.dpk  - FastScript, ADO components
fsIBX*.dpk  - FastScript, IBX components
fsTee*.dpk  - FastScript, TeeChart components
frx*.dpk    - FastReport, main package
frxDB*.dpk  - FastReport, TDataSet wrapper (TfrxDBDataSet)
frxIBO*.dpk - FastReport, IB_Objects wrapper (TfrxIBODataSet)
frxBDE*.dpk - FastReport, end-user BDE components
frxADO*.dpk - FastReport, end-user ADO components
frxIBX*.dpk - FastReport, end-user IBX components
frxDBX*.dpk - FastReport, end-user DBX components
frxTee*.dpk - FastReport, TeeChart components
frxe*.dpk   - FastReport, export filters

Design-time packages are:

dclfs*.dpk
dclfsDB*.dpk
dclfsBDE*.dpk
dclfsADO*.dpk
dclfsIBX*.dpk
dclfsTee*.dpk
dclfrx*.dpk
dclfrxDB*.dpk
dclfrxIBO*.dpk
dclfrxBDE*.dpk
dclfrxADO*.dpk
dclfrxIBX*.dpk
dclfrxDBX*.dpk
dclfrxTee*.dpk
dclfrxe*.dpk
