 Welcome, the order of as much and also for the necessity to use other components in the Turbo, I decided to create this article that anger ¡ to show as to add third components in IDE.
The package that I will go to teach to install is the Free Report, a package of well avanceds component freewares and that comes to supply the lack of components for reports in Turbo Delphi.
You can download the components here:

HTTP://www.fast-report.with/pbc_download/fr234.zip
Unpacks the archives in the Lib folder of Turbo (C:\Program Files\Borland\BDS\4.0\lib).

Soon now it comes the main one:

The Turbo allows that component of third they are added IDE, that is you can uses them, but creating in run-time mode.
Perhaps for pure haste of being able to deliver the product in the foreseen time, the Borland left a breach that allows that if it can add to other components to default package, “dclusr.dpk”.
Good, open the Turbo Delphi, and click in opening project. It locates “dclusr.dpk” that this ¡ in the Lib folder of the directory where the Turbo Delphi was installed.
After open, to appear in “Project Manager” the archive “dclusr100.bpl ” corresponding to “dclusr.dpk”, click with right button on it and I will choose “Add…”.
In Unit FileName it locates archive “FR_REG.pas ” that this ¡ in the folder “Lib \ Free_Report \ Source”, click in Opening and pressures “OK”.
It notices that in Contrains anger ¡ to appear a called item Free_report, if this to occur, you made all certain right now.

Now click with the Right button in “dclusr100.bpl ” and click in “Compile” and the Delphi again anger ¡ to compile the Package, later click in “Install”.
Soon, closes IDE and to the requested being if click in “Yes” desires to save alterations in “dclusr”.
Opens the Turbo again and it notices that paletas appeared, “FreeReport” and “FrTools”.

Good we go explanation of the facts:

The Delphi hinders that archives of package “*.dpk ” is installed, to put these same archives needs one unit “*.pas ” to make service. Normally almost all the packages contains an archive “.pas” that is what it really installs the components.
What you makes is to specify the archive directly “.pas ” to be installed in default  package of the Turbo.

Good this is, I wait to have helped  community to understand as to made the process of instalacion of components.

It´s all.

Ps. Using of this same example, it can be installed the components of the Indy10 that comes with Turbo Delphi, however can´t install.
