Here, you'll find the most frequently asked questions which cover a range of components or all. You will find questions specific to one component in the How to section of each component.
How to get ICS
There are 3 options to get ICS source code:
- From partner DVD you get from CodeGear when buying Delphi or C++ Builder
- From OverByte website
- From version control repository
Using partner DVD from CodeGear is probably not such a good idea since it is likely to be an old version build at the time Delphi / C++Builder version was pushed to the marked.
Using OverByte website you'll get the latest stable release or beta. That's a good choice.
Using version control repository is the best choice if you want to have the very latest source code. OverByte use SubVersion server and you need to use a subversion client such as TortoiseSVN or your favorite browser. Once your SVN client is installed, for ICS-V6 you can browse to svn://svn.overbyte.be/ics or http://svn.overbyte.be:8443/svn/ics or for ICS-V5 to: svn://svn.overbyte.be/icsv5 or http://svn.overbyte.be:8443/svn/icsv5. ICS-V7 is a part of V6, in ics/branches/icsv7. All use usercode = ics and password = ics for read access. Write access is only available to TeamICS.
