- ===========================================================
- 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.
