Hi. What you see here is an interesting sample I put to gether for 
one of my projects, of cource the result I mean. The sample About box
is put to gether just for this smaple.

This smaple shows some interesting aspects of programing which usually 
are not available in one place in different books and samples codes.

It shows:
  1- How to put a dialog in a DLL
  2- How to call a function from a DLL
  3- How to get information about Version Information in a File, In this case
      the sample application
  4- How to use Some Useful API Functions
  5- How to get Information from Windows Registry
  6- How to start an application in a special Style using ShowWindow API
      function and set the Forms Visiblity to true. (Check the application Project 
      Source and compair it with other applications of yours. Something is 
      missing and something is added there !)


The intention of this sample is just teaching. Of cource I do not claim the
sample does all of the stuff in a best possible way, but at least it does something
usefull and for some of you might be usefull in its sole or even a starting point
to do something you were wondering about.

I do not claim that it is safe and bug free, so please do not blame me if you find
some misstake or bug. Instead you can send me a message and inform me
about the problem.

The credit for the part of putting the About Box, Or any other dialogs in DLLs
goes to Maga WiseCarver - CIS 102507,3374 which has an interesting article 
about DLL creation in UNDU, The Unofficial Newsletter of Delphi Users - 
Issue #8 - October 10th, 1995.

The rest is my own work and experiments. Have fun and if you find the sample 
usefull in any way, send me a line to,
