the personal versions _MAY_ be appropriate, depending on how what you want to do
fits with the Personal license, and can often be found on magazine CDs. here's
relevant section:

"4. LICENSE TERMS FOR THE WORKS YOU CREATE USING BORLAND
DELPHI PERSONAL VERSION 6
You may not use the Software for any commercial, business,
governmental or institutional purpose of any kind
("Noncommercial Purposes"). Borland grants to you as an
individual, a personal, nonexclusive license to install and
use the Software for the sole purposes of designing,
developing and running, in source and compiled form, the
works which you create for your own personal Noncommercial
Purposes, using the Software ("Works"), subject to the
restrictions in this License Agreement. You may distribute
your Works to others. You may not receive any direct or
indirect compensation for the distribution or use of your
Works.

In the event that you use the Software for any commercial,
business, governmental or institutional purpose, in breach
of this license grant, you hereby agree to purchase at the
then current retail price, the number of licenses of the
then current version of Delphi Professional, equal to the
number of copies of Delphi Personal in your possession. You
agree to reimburse Borland for all attorney's fees, expenses
and court costs incurred by Borland as a result of such
breach.

Nothing in this License Agreement permits you to derive the
source code of files that Borland has provided to you in
compiled form only, or to reproduce, modify, use, or
distribute the source code of such files. You are not, of
course, restricted from distributing source code or compiled
code that is entirely your own (so long as you receive no
direct or indirect compensation for such distribution and
such use of the Software is for personal, Noncommercial
Purposes). Source code which you generate with a Borland
source code generator, such as the Application Wizard, is
considered by Borland to be your code."

cheers,

Mat
