Main Patch for Rx Library 2.75
(version 2.1)

group presents Unofficial set of correct and additional files RxLib 2.75 and not included to official fixes. There are two main reasons of the issue of this product: first - that the RxLib releases issue extremely seldom and its authors do not answer the messages, and second - our library of components Polaris Library, which is integrated with RxLib, and it would not be desirable to drag the large pieces of modules from it only that in Rx some methods and the properties are in private section.
All tested on
Delphi 3 C/S Update Pack 2 (build 5.83),
Delphi 4 C/S Update Pack 3 (build 5.108),
Delphi 5 Ent Update Pack 1 (build 6.18),
Delphi 6 Ent Update Pack 2 (build 6.240),
BCB 4 Ent (build 14.4),
BCB 5 Ent (build 12.34),
BCB 6Ent (build 10.160).

installation

1. Extract all files and folders from archive to folder, which RxLib installed.
2. Configure options in RX.INC.
3. For BCB, Delphi 4-6: Add <RxLibDir>\dcu\<version> path in Environment Options - Library Path.
For example, for Delphi 5 - <RxLibDir>\dcu\d5.
4. For BCB, Delphi 3-5: Add <RxLibDir>\units\old path in Environment Options - Library Path.
5. For Delphi 6: Delete strutils.* files from <RxLibDir>\units folder.
6. For English users: Copy *.r32 files from <RxLibDir>\units\Resource\Eng folder into <RxLibDir>\units folder.
7. Build or Compile following packages
Delphi3: rxctl, rxdb, dclrxctl, dclrxdb.
Delphi4: rxctl4, rxdb4, dclrx4, dclrxdb4.
Delphi5: rxctl5, rxdb5, rxbde5, dclrx5, dclrxdb5, dclrxbd5.
Delphi6: rxctl6, rxdb6, rxbde6, dclrx6, dclrxdb6, dclrxbd6 (or dclrxall6 only instead of dcl*6).
BCB4: rxctl4, rxdb4, dclrx4, dclrxdb4;
BCB5: rxctl5, rxdb5, rxbde5, dclrx5, dclrxdb5, dclrxbd5.
BCB5: rxctl6, rxdb6, rxbde6, dclrxall6.
