Question:
How do I find out what exact version/release of Delphi 3 I have?

You can determine the version/release of Delphi 3 by checking the
modified time stamp of the file "dcldb30.dpl". Do step 1A if you
want to check the version/release currently installed on your
system, or step 1B if you want to check the version/release on
your Delphi 3 CD. Then follow steps 2 and 3.
1A. Do a find files or folders search for "dcldb30.dpl" on the
drive where Delphi 3 was installed. (by default in the
à\borland\delphi 3\bin directory).
1B. With the Delphi 3 CD inserted, do a find files or folders
search for "dcldb30.dpl" on the CD-ROM drive.
2. Right click on the file and go to properties, then read the
modified time stamp.
3. Time stamp 3:00:00 A.M. is version 3.00; 3:01:00 A.M. is
version 3.01; 3:02:00 A.M. is version 3.02; etc. Version 3.01
is release 1; version 3.02 is release 2; etc. At the time of
