I will buy the Studio package if I can figure how to get this package installed- it's mandatory since my applications are serial/usb intensive. I attempted the command line approach but the trial version doesn't seem to support command line compiling. If I try to compile with the IDE I get a 'missing Delphi.personality' message.

It's possible that I did the installation wrong but I don't recall any compiler choices there. I can't figure how to start the Delphi compiler (or even if there is one as part of the program, despite the fact that the product description says there is). I am using a trial version of RAD Studio XE. I am trying to install AsyncPro, which is now apparently available only in Delphi source format. My original question still stands What can I use today? I think this would be great for the users but Embarcadero would have to decide if they have the time (spoken money) to make this commitment. The current problem is that this has failed to happen on the C++ side. The packages would at least have to be kept up to date to work with with the current release. If Embarcadero were to add the component to the releases, it would imply at least some level of commitment to assisting the open source developers. In spite of this, it is clear that their resources are too limited to support the C++ side. A great number of Delphi users are dependent on and happy with their efforts. The Async Pro developers should be applauded for their efforts.

They do a great deal of work and they do it without compensation. I really don't want to be thought of as someone who throws stones at open source developers. While the issue of CB2010 being able to compile Delphi code is an obstacle, it is not the only problem. However, I could do nothing to get the components loaded into the C++ Builder IDE. It compiled correctly and the components loaded into the Delphi IDE. What I did was to download the demo version of RAD Studio and install Async Pro.
