    You need to compile a design-time package that will register your component
    with the report designer. Then you install the package into the Delphi IDE.

    For an exmple, please see RBuilder\Demos\RCL. In the example, dclRBU77.dpk
    is the design-time package and rbUser77.dpk is the run-time package.
    Run-time package .bpl's should be placed in Windows\System. Design-time
    package .bpl's should be placed in RBuilder\Lib. All .dcp's should be placed
    in RBuilder\Lib.
