===========================================================
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.
