This document describes how ActiveSocket can be integrated into Borland Delphi projects.
Step 1: Download and install the ActiveSocket Toolkit
Download the ActiveSocket from the ActiveXperts Download Site and start the installation. The installation guides you through the installation process.
Step 2: Create a new Delphi Project
Launch Borland Delphi (for instance 'Delphi 2005') from the Start menu. Choose 'New' from the 'File' menu and select your preferred kind of application, for instance: 'VCL Forms Application - Delphi for Win32'. A new Form is displayed in the workspace.

In the 'private' or 'public' section, declare the following objects:
objScp : IScp
You can now create the objects, for instance in the 'FormCreate' function:
objScp := TScp.Create(Form1).DefaultInterface;
