BDS2006 missing TServerSocket/TClientSocket

Any idea what happened to TServerSocket and TClientSocket in BDS2006? They worked in BCB5 but are totally missing in BDS2006. The BDS2006 HELP system still documents them, but projects using them do not convert over, and I can't find them in the component list anyplace. Instead they have TTCPServer and TTCPClient components, which look "similar", but have absolutely NO documentation in the help file as to how to use them. Lance.

It is no longer installed by default, but add the dclsockets100.bpl. Note that Borland deprecated these components as of D7 and recommend switching to the Indy socket components, but they are still available in BDS2006. -- Jeff Overcash (TeamB) [in another message Jeff writes] Install dclsockets100.bpl from the bin directory into the IDE. </quote>

They were deprecated a long time ago, and are no longer installed by default. If you still want to use them, they are available, but you have to install them manually. > Instead they have TTCPServer and TTCPClient components I STRONGLY advise you not to use those components. They are poorly implemented, IMHO. Gambit

Too low a level for the future .NET programming environments everyone seems suicidally heading for? They seem rock solid components from BCB5's perspective. >> Instead they have TTCPServer and TTCPClient components > > I STRONGLY advise you not to use those components.

They were meant to be cross-platform components, but they have such a very basic implementation that mainly focuses on the common functionality between the different platforms as to make them almost useless. They require a much more in-depth understanding of how sockets work, and require a lot more manual effort on the programmer's part in order to use them effectively. TClientSocket and TServerSocket were much nicer to the programmer in that regard, and there are plenty of third-party components (Indy, ICS, Synapse, etc) and do the job a lot better than TTCPClient and TTCPServer do.
