Okay, given the advice from Mark and Jeff I have decided that maybe a
package will be the best way to go about solving my problem.  However, the
only use I have of packages is in creating components.  I've never created a
package to be used for purposes like this.  (i.e. a replacement for a DLL).

When I tried I ran into several problems.  And I have several questions on
this matter.

1. I'm using the project manager to keep track of all my DLLs and EXEs and
such.  Is it possible to create a package that will only show up in the PM
or on a project by project basis rather than showing up in the "Package
Manager" (Component | Install Packages)?

2. I created a datamodule in the package.  Where and how should the data
module (or other form) get created?  In normal executables the creation
would happen in WinMain -- (i.e. CreateForm(__classid(TBlah), &Blah);

3. When I turned the option to "Build with runtime packages" on and added my
new package to the list the linker reported a "Unresolved external."  We all
know what that means.  How do I actually use the package correctly?

I guess what I'm trying to say here is ... HELP!  Do you have any good URLs
or examples in the help system that I can go to to find out how to use
packages correctly?  I'm getting desperate.

Thanks again,

Clayton
