I'm a bit confused....

I'm wondering if I've missed something but...
I recently pulled down jcf2_rc2.zip. I'm just wanting to use the formatter at present rather than start playing with the source and things seem a little rough.
Issues:
./output/jcfgui.exe runs OK, but jcf_test.exe complains about absense of DJcl70.bpl and jcf_notepad.exe complains about absense of JVcoreD7R.bpl. Looks like they were compiled with run time packages. Was this intended????
There isn't any compiled help file in the .zip, only ./help/codeformat.hsc. It took me a bit of detective work to figure out that this was a HelpScribble source file, download the free demo and compile it to generate CodeFormat.hlp
There wasn't any readme.txt in the zip describing install and getting started, I had to sniff around to find the instructions on http://jedicodeformat.sourceforge.net/ (which seems a little out of date with regards to .exe names etc.)
It seems that the .zip is oriented towards the project developers, rather than people that just want to use the thing, but as far as I can see it is the only download available. Am i missing something???
Cheers
Richard.
None of the programs were compiled with the "Build with runtime packages" checkbox checked, and this wasn't intentional. Any suggestions as to why you are getting these dependecies would be welcomed.
The missing help file is likewise a mistake.
I will look at a less confusing layout for the next RC. Perhaps two zip files - one for the exes and one for the source.
I have also encountered this same problem -- it would appear as though it was built with run-time packages (although I know it wasn't)
Sorry I don't have any solutions, but I thought that I would just add that I also have the same problem.
