says a  self-extracting .EXE file FMDC1_0.EXE has these files for Delphi 2 and delphi 3

The file:
ftp://mirrors.medsphere.org/pub/downloads.va.gov/files/FOIA/VistAdocs/Infrastructure%20-%20NEW/Fileman_Delphi_Comp_(FMDC)/fmdc1_0p1ig.pdf
(ie: Installation guid for FMDC 1.0 patch 1)
says that the new patch 1 isn't Delphi 2 compatible, but does say it is Delphi 4 compatible, but
doesn't tell us what files are there.
 
Another file I have (FMDCP1TM.doc) lists these:

I haven't found a technical or user manual for Delphi 5.
The page:
http://code.osehra.org/files/vdl/Infrastructure/FileMan%20Delphi%20Components%20(FMDC)/
has Delphi 5 instructions in a readme
 
 
Additional hints are in the file:

- Source code is now provided for the FMDC components.
While this patch only provides code changes for developer's client
  workstations, a build also is included for the server side so that the
  patch number will appear in the package file.
  The software distribution includes:

I downloaded the FMDC1_P1.EXE, ran it, and it appears that it creates the source code files, though only for Delphi 3 & Delphi 4.
I assume that these files will need to be reviewed to be loaded into a more "modern" Delphi version.

Introduction

The VA FileMan Delphi Components (FMDC) make it easy for developers to work with VA FileMan data in Delphi Applications. The components encapsulate the details of retrieving, validating, and updating VA FileMan data within a Delphi Application. This saves you from having to create your own custom remote procedure calls (RPCs) when you need to access VA FileMan data.

The VA FileMan components also include special enhanced features such as complete server-side error checking and data dictionary (DD) help.

If you're already familiar with Delphi, you can quickly create applications that retrieve and update VA FileMan data. The time needed to develop an Application to edit a set of VA FileMan fields with the VA FileMan components is comparable to the time to create the same Application using VA FileMan's character-based (roll-and-scroll) ScreenMan interface.

Documentation Features

  • Getting Started provides an overview, orientation, and installation instructions.
  • FMDC Components provides detailed information on each component, including properties and methods.
