- The package options call for the installation of the component's .bcp
- file in $(DELPHI)\Bin and the .dcu and .dcp files in $(DELPHI)\Lib.
- You may wish to change these to conform to your usual practice with
- 3rd party components. To install the component, open the .dpk file
- in the Component directory, click Options (if you wish to change any
- output directories), then click the Compile button and then the Install
- button.

- The HexViewer program used to demo the component is just that, a *demo*.
- In particular, its performance on large files is pretty awful.
- The sluggishness has nothing to do with component inefficiencies.

- This code has been tested on Win95 and NT 4.0. It has not been tested on
- Win98. This code was compiled and tested using D4. It has not been
- compiled or tested with D5.

- In testing this code, I've noticed a behavior for which I don't yet
- have an explanation. When running the program consecutive times
- under Delphi, the registry settings are saved and restored just fine.
- When executing the program standalone after the Delphi runs, the
- registry settings for the Delphi runs appear to sometimes be dropped.
- That is, they revert to the settings prior to the Delphi runs. This
- behavior was seen in both Win95 and NT testing. The code does seem
- to be completely reliable for consecutive stand alone runs. Any
- explanations or even theories on the cause of this would be most
- welcome. You can contact me at dbaer@speartechnologies.com.

- Enjoy.
