TTickingClock is a Delphi component that displays an analog clock using
a bitmap (sample provided) and a set of pen and brush properties.
You can either change the time to be displayed yourself when needed, or
make the clock advance automatically second by second (like a stopwatch)
or to display and keep track of the current system time.
The 32-bit version uses a separate thread to update the clock which means
that it is quite accurate. Since threads are not available in Delphi 1,
the 16-bit version uses a TTimer component.

You may use this component free of charge in your public domain, freeware
and shareware applications.
If you want to include it in a commercial application,
you are kindly requested to contact the author. 
Expensive applications should not be built with free components.


Delphi 1 installation
=====================

1. Unzip TikClk1.zip into the directory of your choice. You will probably
   want to use an existing directory as Delphi's Library Path can be no
   longer than 127 characters.
2. Move TikClock.hlp to your delphi\bin directory and TikClock.kwf to your
   \delphi\help directory
3. Run delphi\help\helpinst.exe
4. Open delphi\bin\delphi.hdx, add TikClock.kwf and click on the Save button.
5. Launch Delphi 1 if it isn't already running.
6. Choose Options|Install components... from the menu, click the Add button,
   click the Browse button and select the file TikClock.dcu in the TTickingClock
   directory selected in step 1.
7. Click Ok to recompile the component library.
8. Have fun!
