=========================================================== Note: The FIF libraries that were supplied in the \INFO\EXTRAS folder in previous versions of Delphi are no longer available due to discontinued development and support by the vendor, Iterated Systems. =========================================================== The following is a description of the add-in units available in the \INFO\EXTRAS directory on your Delphi CD. \INFO\EXTRAS\JPEG ----------------------------------------------------------- This directory includes the Delphi unit files JConsts.pas and JPeg.pas, which were used to generate the .DCU files installed with Delphi. The JPeg unit (and the .DCUs installed with Delphi) defines a graphic class (TJPEGImage) and its helper object (TJPEGData). The .DCUs installed with Delphi are completely self- sufficient -- you do not need any of the files in the INFO\EXTRAS\JPEG directory to use these. However, if you wish to read or alter the JPEG source, you may edit the unit files in the JPEG directory. If you recompile the units in the INFO\EXTRAS\JPEG directory, you must link in the object files for the Independent JPEG group's (IPG) implementation of the JPEG compression/ decompression standard. The OBJ files in this JPEG library are included in the OBJ subdirectory. If you wish to view the source files for those OBJ files, you can look in the SRC directory. The SRC directory also includes a readme file that provides more information, including distribution information. \INFO\EXTRAS\NETMANAGE ----------------------------------------------------------- This directory contains the Internet Solutions Pack ActiveX controls that shipped with Delphi 3. These components have been replaced in Delphi 4. The old versions are included here for backward compatibility. (These Internet controls are only available in the Professional and higher editions of Delphi 4.) \INFO\EXTRAS\SENDKEYS ----------------------------------------------------------- This unit includes two functions provided by Ken Henderson that simulate popular Visual Basic routines: Sendkeys and AppActivate. SendKeys can send only key- strokes that are available directly from the keyboard. It does not send so-called "dead keys" -- special key combinations used in some languages. \INFO\EXTRAS\ZLIB ----------------------------------------------------------- This directory includes the Delphi ZLIB unit file, which implements utilities for compressing and decompressing information using the freely distributable library written by Jean-loup Gailly and Mark Adler. This unit provides two stream objects, TCompressionStream and TDecompressionStream, that can be used to compress information as it is written or decompress information as it is read. It also includes the global CompressBuf and DecompressBuf procedures to compress and decompress information using buffers. To use the ZLIB unit, you must link the OBJ files in the OBJ directory to your Delphi application. The C source for these .OBJ files is included in the SRC directory, along with a readme file that provides more information about the library and a disclaimer by the authors. =========================================================== Copyright (c) 1999 Inprise Corporation.
