Installing TQuickWav in Delphi 1.x
----------------------------------

1.  Copy the files quikwv16.dcu and quikwv16.res to your Delphi 1
    library directory.  Usually the path is c:\delphi\lib, but it 
    may be different on your system.  If you maintain your third
    party components in a different directory, place these files in
    that directory, but make sure the "Search Path" includes the
    correct directory.

2.  Start Delphi 1.

3.  Choose Options|Install Components... from the Delphi menu.

4.  In the "Install Components" dialog box, click on Add..., then
    click Browse to search for the correct file.  Choose the 
    directory where you had previously copied the necessary files.
    Then, change the file type to "Unit Files (*.dcu)".

5.  Select quikwv16.dcu, then click OK.

6.  Delphi will rebuild your library including the TQuickWav
    component on the "System" palette.


Installing TQuickWav in Delphi 2
--------------------------------

1.  Copy the files quikwv32.dcu and quikwv32.res to your Delphi 2
    library directory.  Usually the path is 
    c:\Program Files\Borland\Delphi 2.0\lib, but it 
    may be different on your system.  If you maintain your third
    party components in a different directory, place these files in
    that directory, but make sure the "Search Path" includes the
    correct directory.

2.  Start Delphi 2.

3.  Choose Component|Install... from the Delphi menu.

4.  In the "Install Components" dialog box, click on Add..., then
    click Browse to search for the correct file.  Choose the 
    directory where you had previously copied the necessary files.
    Then, change the file type to "Unit Files (*.dcu)".

5.  Select quikwv32.dcu, then click OK.

6.  Delphi will rebuild your library including the TQuickWav
    component on the "System" palette.


Using the TQuickWav Component
-----------------------------

The TQuickWav component is relatively simple.  It has only 4 properties
and 2 methods.  The properties are:

Name	   Used for referencing the component
Tag	   User defined integer with no special meaning to the compiler
Filename   Name of wav file or system file to play
Wait	   Indicates whether system should receive immediate control
	   after wav file begins playing, or wait until it is finished.

The methods are:

Play	   Loads and begins playing the wav or system sound file
	   specified in the filename property
Stop	   Stops all current wav or system sounds

The following code demonstrates how to use the TQuickWav component:

procedure TForm1.PlayWave;
begin
   QuickWav1.filename := 'c:\windows\chimes.wav';
   QuickWav1.Wait := true;
   QuickWav1.Play;
   QuickWav1.filename := 'SystemStart';
   QuickWav1.Play;
end;
