GUI Compilation Note for the #SWMM 5.1.x Delphi Code

This is for Students who want to make their own customized version of the SWMM5 GUI Interface. You can use the Embarcadero Starter Version for XE2 to XE7.  Here are the main files you download from the EPA There may be a problem with teechart and the starter version - see the note here http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/XE7/en/FireMonkey_and_TeeChart  I got it work in XE7 but I did have to remove XPPRINTER references from the Delphi code.  

CONTENTS OF SWMM5.1.007_GUI.ZIP
=============================

Note from the EPA: This archive contains source code for the Windows graphical user interface portion of Version 5.1.007 of the Storm Water Management Model (SWMM). The interface was written using Embarcadero's Delphi XE2 (www.embarcadero.com). The name of the Delphi project containing the code is Epaswmm5. All of the files for the project can be found in the GUI5_1_007.ZIP file within this archive.

Before the Epaswmm5 project can be loaded into Delphi's Integrated Development Environment (IDE), several special components must be installed into the IDE's component pallette. The source code for these components is contained in the COMPONENTS.ZIP file in this archive. Consult the Delphi Users Guide for instructions on how to install these components. 

My note:  The Delphi Starter versions for XE2 to XE7 also can create a customized SWMM5.1 GUI.  You can by the Embarcadero Starter Version for $209 USD.  As explained in the readme from the EPA Site, Delphi uses the Delphi Interface (Bullet 1), the F(form files), D(dialog files), U(Utility files), Txt (Interface Rules) as shown in Bullet 2 and Components that work with the Forms of the Delphi Compiler (Bullet 3).  See Figure 1 below for an example.
