----------------
PRE-INSTALLATION
----------------
Make sure all of your .DCU and .DCR files exist within the same
directory.

To be safe, make a backup copy of your current Delphi component
library (CompLib.DCL), usually located in the '\Delphi\Bin\' 
directory.


------------
INSTALLATION
------------
To install your K&J PicWin Control, start by selecting 'Install Components' 
from the 'Options' menu.  The Install Components dialog box will appear
on your screen.

Next, click the 'Add' button to open the Add Module dialog box.  In this
dialog box you can either use the 'Browse' button to locate the K&J .DCU
file units or type the path and name in the edit box.

If the unit in question is located on a path not currently included in the
search path, Delphi will automatically take care of appending the new path
to the search path. (Take note, however, that the maximum size of the search
path is only 125 characters.  If the search path contains more than 125
characters, you will encounter an 'Identifier Expected' compiler error when
trying to rebuild your component library.)

After adding the K&J .DCU unit, click 'OK' in the Install Components
dialog box and Delphi will rebuild its component library and add a new 'K&J'
page to your component palette.  Clicking on the 'K&J' component page will
reveal one new control - 'KJPicWin'.


-----
USAGE
-----
K&J PicWin is a small, yet powerful control that encapsulates a TImage and
two TPanel controls to generate a frame effect around your images.  Now,
every image can have it's own dynamic sizeable border and label.
K&J PicWin is a great component for thumbnail images!


----------------------------
REGISTERED VS. UN-REGISTERED
----------------------------
Please be aware that the un-registered version of K&J PicWin will only
work within the Delphi IDE.  That is, Delphi must be running for K&J
PicWin to work properly.  This gives you, the developer, an excellent
opportunity to try out K&J PicWin before you buy.  If you attempt to
run K&J PicWin from outside of the Delphi IDE, you will see a friendly
message box displayed every time K&J PicWin is created.  This is the only
effect running K&J PicWin outside of the Delphi IDE has on a project.
