Installing LockBox 3 to Delphi 7

Question

I am trying to install Lockbox 3.5 to Delphi 7. I have come to the point where it should compile, but I am having some trouble with TBytes. Delphi sees TBytes as an Undeclared identifier.

I am a student in my first year and don't know exactly how to fix this problem.

function SelfTest_Key: TBytes; 

This script is found under uTPLb_BlockCipher.

function Stream_to_Base64(ASource: TStream; const ATransform: TBytes = nil) : TBytes; 

This script is found under uTPLb_StreamUtils

I would really appreciate any input.

From the project release history:

• ...

From the project website:

With 3.5.0 as the baseline, the 3.6.0 version delivers:

• Support for all compilers from Delphi 7 and up (although only package heads for D2010 and XE6 written at the moment).
