Something in your paths is no longer correct.  The IDE is ok because it 
can use the BPL that contains the components that need controls.res and 
so forth.  The DCC32 can't use the BPL, needs the .dcu or .pas files, 
which it normally finds in the path your should have in there for 
\Library (or something like that, don't recall just what the name was in 
D5).

Another possibility, again I don't remember how D5 did it, is that DCC 
was in fact using the Windows PATH environment variable to find these 
files (i.e. the dcu or the pas and res files).

Happy detecting!
