Technically yes, Indy does still include project files for Delphi 4. ¹ But, you will have to compile and install them manually, Indy won't automate that for you. And I offer no guarantees about whether they actually work.

Delphi 4 is almost 25 years old, so don't expect much support if something goes wrong. Even Delphi 6 support is questionable, and Delphi 5 support is really pushing it. ²

¹: Note that all support for pre-2009 Delphi/C Builder versions will be dropped in Indy 11, including project files.

²: Delphi 5 is about as far back as I'm willing to go on support, since I never had a Delphi version earlier than that. And even then, this is only because C Builder 5 had bugs that affected some of Indy's method signatures, which were fixed in later versions.

ICS version 5 is still available from archive. It supports Delphi 1 up to Delphi 7. Look at http://wiki.overbyte.eu/wiki/index.php/ICS_Download.

Don't expect much support although I will do my best to help you (I have no Delphi 4 available anymore).
