I know that the explorer edition of Turbo C++ does not include the Indy 
components. I was wondering if it was still possible to use Indy with the 
design time packages and if so what are the necessary steps to have this 
done.

Design-time support is not required for that.  You can assign event handlers
dynamically in your run-time code as well, ie:

    void __fastcall TSomeClass::InitServer()
    {
        fServer = new TIdTCPServer(this);
        fServer->OnExecute = &ServerExecute;
        //...
    }

    void __fastcall TSomeClass::ServerExecute(TIdContext *AContext);
    {
        //...
    }

No.  You can use the existing components as-is.

No, as it does not need to.

Ok. I was able to create a new variable of type TIdTCPServer, and it 
compiled after including the Indy lib files manually. I know if I had the 
professional version I could just add methods in the events tab to set 
functionality, however there is no design time package. I realize that some 
of the methods(in TIdTCPServer) are declared as virtual. So can I assume to 
use the Indy package that I would have to create a child class that 
overrides all the virtual methods, or does the lib contain blank 
implementations. If I need to create the child class, is there any 
documentation that says how to go about such.

Thanks

The Explorer edition of Turbo does not support installation of third-party
design-time packages.  You need the Professional edition for that, or the
full Studio product/suite instead.  You can, however, add the Indy libs to
your Explorer project manually and then dynamically instantiate the desired
Indy objects at run-time.  But you cannot use any of the design-time
features at all.
