In the Builder's "Project Options" there is a tab "Linker" from where one can select if one wants to include "RTL" inside of exe or not. How can I do the same thing with normal dll?


May be you mean that you want to pack DLLs and your EXE in one 
executable. Really it is possible. As I know 
exist such packers (commercial and not) that can do it.
But it is not possible to do some easy operations inside 
Borland C++ IDE to deliver success result.

You can try to find in the internet info about such packers 
and read more about it:
 Windows:: Developer Magazine, June 2002
Thiadmer Riemersma. Packing DLLs in your EXE.
http://www.windevnet.com/wdm/

There is no direct reference to this article but you 
can go on WDM site then Search page and put "Riemersma" 
for searching.

Vladimir.
