The ImageLib VCL\DLL is an inexpensive way to add Jpeg, Gif and Pcx to your
applications. Yes, there are image libraries supporting many more formats
than ImageLib, but those libraries are more expensive and add more overhead
to your applications.

ImageLib is a enhanced Timage and TDBImage VCL/DLL with the following
added features:

* Enables the reading and writing of JPEG images to/from a file or a TBlobfield;
* Jpeg 4, 8 and 24 bit dithering;
* Jpeg 0 to 100% save quality;
* Jpeg 0 to 100% smoothing;
* enables the reading of GIF images from a file or a TBlobfield;
* enables the reading of PCX images from a file or a TBlobfield;
* enables the reading and writing of BMP images to/from a file or a TBlobfield;
* enables the reading and writing of ICO images to/from a file(Delphi inherited)
* enables the reading and writing of WMF images to/from a file (Delphi inherited)
* DLL Callback function shows a progress bar and processes windows messages;
* 1 line of code displays all image formats on the same canvas;
* no code necessary (VCL) to display all image formats from a TBlobfield;
* Loads/Saves all Tblobfield images to/from file;
* converts all Tblobfield images to Jpeg/Bmp file;
* pastes images from Clipboard and stores as a Jpeg/Bmp file/Blob; and
* retrieves File/Blob info without actually opening the file.

We hereby grant everyone the right to distribute the unmodified zip files as 
long as no profit is to be made from the sales of this zip file. It's o.k. for 
Shareware distributors, BBS systems and computer book publishers to include 
ImageLib on their disks or Online Systems. If you do so, a short e-mail 
message would be appreciated.
