1. WHAT IS DELPHI 7 SECOND EDITION

---------------------------------Delphi 7 SE is an improved version of Delphi 7 Professional, created with the
purpose to offer a true Delphi 7 successor to a significant part of the Delphi
community, neglected by Borland for too many years.
If you are sick of the releases that Borland has produced since they became
the MS .NET bitch, you will like Delphi 7 SE. Also, if you have any fixes for
VCL bugs that Borland has refused to solve along the years, you have now the
opportunity to see them integrated in the product. To do so, don't hesitate to
visit our forum at http://www.liteapplications.com or contact us directly at
contact@liteapplications.com. Enjoy!
2. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
---------------------*
*
*
*

Pentium 166 or higher.

Windows 98 or higher.
64 MB of RAM.
250 MB of HD.

3. FEATURES
----------* Applied all the official updates.
* Restored DCC32.EXE and DCC70.DLL to avoid the optimization bug of Delphi 7
Update 1.
* Updated BORLNDMM.DLL to FastMM v4.64.
* The IDE and the VCL use the Tahoma font by default, instead of MS Sans Serif.
* Included programming font Consolas (recommended size 10 with ClearType
enabled).
* Editor color settings of Delphi 2006.
* Widened the "Files" heading in the Project Manager.
* MMX Trial Cleaner, that allows to reset the trial version of ModelMaker Code
Explorer.

* Delphi Tweaks utility, that allows to decide which packages will be loaded
when the IDE starts.
* Included Unit Expert 1.1.
* Removed deprecated/obsolete parts (CLX, BDE, Database Explorer, Database
Desktop, Image Editor, Integrated Translation Environment, Indy, IntraWeb,
Rave, TeeChart, QuickReport). The BDE packages and units are still there,
for backwards compatibility with third party libraries that may need them.
* Removed Delphi Direct.
* Removed the MS SDK Help except the Win32 Reference.
* Removed MergeModules folder.
* Removed Demos folder.
4. COMPILING THE JCL (JEDI CODE LIBRARY)
---------------------------------------As Delphi 7 SE is based on Delphi 7 Professional, the JCL will believe that it
includes the CLX, and will try to compile packages for the CLX. To avoid this,
make the following change in the file "jcl\source\common\JclBorlandTools.pas":
function TJclBorRADToolInstallation.SupportsVisualCLX: Boolean;
begin
Result := False;
end;
