much larger than my program and probably wouldn't run on the
other computer's operating system.

A bpl is not a special kind of dll. Of course it can be
used on the other computer. Just copy all missing files to that
machine.

Shield Express, which is supposed to be bundled with my Builder.
Where do I go now?

Do you need an extra program to copy some files ?

There is a simple alternative though. You can build your program
in such a way that all needed packages and dll's are statically
linked at linktime. Your exe will be much larger then.

GO to Project Optons
Linker: Uncheck use dynamic RTTL
Package: Unckeck Build with runtime packages.

Do a rebuild.

Pleas post such questions to the ide group. You will find
questions like this there many times.
