INSTALLING THE TLrsBmp16/32 Components

 
  Installing new components in the library is covered starting on page 44 of
  the User's manual.  Here's some extra comments and suggestions.

  1. The Register procedure in LrsBmp16/32.PAS is setup to place TLrsBmp on
     the palette page tab named 'Larsen'.  You can change the location after
     installation but you may prefer to edit the Register procedure to place
     it on a different page when it's installed.

  2. Backup CMPLIB.DCL or CMPLIB32.DCL or start a new library file.

  3. Pick a directory for the TLrsBmp component.  Put LRSBMP16/32.PAS,
     LRSBMP16/32.DCR in the chosen directory.

  4. From the Delphi IDE, choose Option|Install or Component|Install....  
     In the dialog, choose the Add... button.  In the Add Module dialog that 
     then comes up, the simplest approach is to use the Browse button to find 
     LRSBMP.PAS.
     Hit OK then and the Search Path edit box will have the correct path
     added and TAnimated will have been added to the installed units listbox.
     (You may have to scroll down to see it.)

  5. Hit OK on the Install Components dialog and the necessary steps will be
     taken to do the installation.  The TAnimated button will appear on
     the chosen component page tab.
