| I bought Delphi 4 on ebay a few years ago and am happy with it. But it
appears that I have to upgrade it to a minnimum of v. 5, due to the fact
that a library I want to use will now only support Delphi v 5+.
Question number 1: Can you run Delphi 8 on a Windows ME system?
Question number 2: My budget is small, is there a source where I could
get a copy of Delphi Professional versions 5 - 7 (possibly 8 depending on the answer to ? 1) for
a max of $200. I would be quite happy with version 6, if I could get a
copy.

| D8 does not compile native code.
its .NET only. :(
you need the D7
also if the LIB requires D5 it may want to check to make sure
the source files are supplied so that you can compile it for
upper versions.
if only the UNITS are supplied then only the version of the
compiler that they were made with will work.
nothing above or below.
if you do have source code then i think you should be able
to correct what ever the problem is that will make it work in your
D4

It is a mysql library and comes as a componet. The licensing option that
I am considering would not provide the source code.

| if its a Activex control (Com,DCOM/OCX) file then you should be able to
install it in the ActiveX panel.
