I found 12 obj-files of my project that consists the entry "winsock.h", i
don't know why. Most of them use the "system.hpp".
I don't know the components that includes the winsock1. I use Quickreport,
ODAC (Oracle Direct Access from crlab.com) and some other standard
components.
Maybe it's caused by including mapi.h, but i deleted that include.
I also tried to send my Mail by functions of that library, but this does not
work. (MAPISendMail is called, but no effect... [standard mailer is
correctly configured] )

If i would like to do that, how is that to be done?

I'm working on an restriced account (win2k system, bcb 6) and tried to
install 9.0.17 and 9.0.18 under administrator rights, I was not able to do
that in a fast way, because of trouble with pascal units. (not familliar
with that, Indy - team should write that existing project need the indy.bpi
before they do the advice to delete all existing indy files, which is
written in the online install notes) Only with 9.0.15 i was able to see the
components and create projects in use of them.
