Compiled IDE plugin for Delphi 6?

Could anyone provide me a compiled version of the IDE plugin for Delphi 6?
Or even better: would it be possible for a future version to have a simple IDE plugin for various Delphi IDEs which needs no 3rd party stuff that in return calls a main DLL/BPL?
TIA,
Holger Dors

Better yet, if anyone builds JCF in Delphi 6, mail it to me and I'll upload it to the files section.
That would be the best solution, of course.

It's possible. It would solve a lot of bpl version problems.
It would also make the exe's smaller, as they could all use the same dll. I will think on this as a possiblity for a upcoming version.
Anthony,
that would be awesome! :-)
Thanks for for considering this,
Holger
I now have a working DLL that I have compiled in Delphi 6. For test/demo purposes I also have two uses for this
1. A plug-in for Notepad++ (available on SourceForge) that formats the current file
2. A simple Delphi program with two TMemo components. It can read a file into one, then format it and put the output in the second file.
I have not yet got the dialogs working (this is on my 'to do' list, but not a high priority as I am creating the JcfSettings file from JcfGUI).
I also have some relatively extensive notes on this, and I can send you compiled versions if you let me know where to send them. However, I would rather post the changes and let someone else review and incorporate them. The changes are minor (there are two code changes and a number of additions to include project files that are not on the path), so this should not be a difficult task.
One change that I have made (and a good reason for not providing binaries) is that I have removed the code for varying the registry location of JcfSettings in order that I can use the same settings as those in the executable copies of JcfGUI and JcfNotepad.
As Anthony points out, it sounds like a good idea to have a common DLL.
If you let me know (though this forum) what you want from me, I will try to provide it. I can certainly provide
1. The changes needed to create a working DLL
2. The DLL binary
3. Simple Delphi examples, including the two mentioned above
