Credits:

   In addition to my code this release contains source code by:

   Martyn Dowsett (CompuServe ID 100676,1560)  (See JAboutE.Pas)
   Jeff Atwood  (JAtwood159@AOL.COM) (See About2.Zip, Jeffs original archive,
                                      and AboutVCL.PAS (in AboutDll.Zip))

   I would like to thank Martyn and Jeff for releasing their code and
   let them know I think they did a fantasic job, I learned a lot from
   it.  My about box editor is based on one origionally written by Martyn
   the about box editor calls a .DLL that is a wrapper for Jeff's about
   box control.  (See the source code headers for additional credit and
   a better explination of what I am talking about)


What's in this zip file?

  This zip contains my first delphi control (TJPicture) it's a simple control
  that will let you toggle display between two bit maps (It's basically
  a graphical check box, instead of an X in a box you can use two bitmaps).
  The other thing it has is an "about this control" editor implemented
  as a .DLL.  The reason for this is I wanted a way to display an "about
  this control" message box that wasn't editable by anyone (this is just a
  sample since I'm releasing the full source code of course this one is
  editable.  If you want to add a non editable about box to any of your
  controls this is one way you could implement it (see AboutDll.DPR, in
  AboutDll.Zip for more information).

  For a better explination of everything see the headers in all the .PAS and
  .DPR files.

Files Included:

  about2.zip      --  Jeff Atwoods distribution file for his about box VCL
  aboutdll.dll    -- The compiled version of the files in AboutDll.Zip
  aboutdll.zip    -- The souce code to the About Box .DLL
  jaboute.pas     -- The source code to the About Editor Property
  jpicture.pas    -- The source code to TJpicture
  jpicture.dpr    -- The palette bitmap for TJpicture
  readme.txt      -- This read me file

To Install this control:

  Installation is just like any other control (see your Delphi documentation
  if you don't know how to install a control).  The register procedure is in
  the file JPicture.Pas, make sure aboutdll.dll is in your path as well.

!!! IMPORTANT NOTE !!! :

  You must make sure ABOUTDLL.DLL is in your path.  If it is not in your path
  the next time you try to load delphi you will get an error saying:
  "Can not load YOURNAME.DCL".  Placing ABOUTDLL.DLL in your path will
  allow fix this.

About this release:

  I wrote this quite a while ago with the intention of releasing it, but I
  wanted to make sure everything was complete and there weren't any errors
  or anything.  However, reality has finally hit me and I know if I don't
  release it now I'll never get around to doing it, so if you find any errors
  or have any problems (hey, it's free.. give me a break) I appologize and
  please let me know.

  I am also looking for a few people to help test a few other little controls
  I have written.  I've tested this one a little but if someone could help
  me pseudo-beta-test stuff it would be fantastic, so if your interested
  please drop me a note.
