                       ZipTV Compression Components
                for Delphi 4 thru 7  & C++ Builder 4 thru 6
                ===========================================





================================
Installation for Delphi 4 thru 7
================================

If you just ran the install program and ZipTV is present in the IDE's
component palette, skip to step 6.

Packages:
  ztv70dt.dpk = Delphi 7 design time package
  ztv70rt.dpk = Delphi 7 run time package
  ztv60dt.dpk = Delphi 6 design time package
  ztv60rt.dpk = Delphi 6 run time package
  ztv50dt.dpk = Delphi 5 design time package
  ztv50rt.dpk = Delphi 5 run time package
  ztv40dt.dpk = Delphi 4 design time package
  ztv40rt.dpk = Delphi 4 run time package

  The below installation is for Delphi 7.  If installing into any
  other supported version of Delphi (listed above in packages),
  replace the design time package ztv70dt.dpk for 
  ztv[Delphi version]0dt.dpk.  Example, if installing into Delphi 
  6 IDE, replace all instances (in the following instructions) of 
  ztv70dt.dpk for ztv60dt.dpk, and ztv70rt.dpk for ztv60rt.dpk.
  


 1. ALWAYS INTALL ZipTV INTO AN EMPTY DIRECTORY!  DO NOT INSTALL
    INTO A DIRECTORY CONTAINING A PREVIOUS VERSION OF ZIPTV.
 2. Close all files: File / Close All.
 3. Open and compile the ZipTV run-time package: ztv70rt.dpk.  This 
    file was installed in subdirectory of where you installed ZipTV: 
    <InstallDir>\srce\ztv70rt.dpk.  The compile will create two files
    named $(DELPHI)\bin\ztv70rt.bpl and $(DELPHI)\bin\ztv70rt.dcp.

    NOTE(s): 
    a) the output file ztv70rt.bpl is a run-time package, thus not 
    installable into the Delphi IDE component palette.
    b) the installer creates these two files in the $(DELPHI)\bin, but 
    depending on your library settings, may also copy them into the 
    windows\system directory so they are accessible by the compiler via 
    dos command-line.

 4. Open and compile the ZipTV design-time package: ztv70dt.dpk.  This 
    compile will create $(DELPHI)\bin\ztv70dt.bpl and 
    $(DELPHI)\bin\ztv70dt.dcp.  

 5. Install the compiled design-time package ztv70dt.bpl when prompted.  

 6. Delphi's menu: 
    a) tools\options select the "library" tab:  append the name of the 
    directory where ZipTV was just installed.  This allows the Delphi IDE to
    locate the required unit(s) when compiling projects.

 7. To prevent the Delphi's debugger from stopping in the IDE at each
    strategically placed exception the components raise, add our unique exception
    variable into Delphi:
    a. Select Menus "Tools" | "Debugger Options..."  the window caption should
       read Debugger Options.
    b. Select tab "Language Exceptions".
    c. Select button "Add".
    d. Add the variable "E_Raise".
    e. Select button "Ok" twice.

    Now Delphi will ignore exceptions the ZipTV components raise while
    monitoring exceptions raised in your application using the components.



NOTE(s)
If you used the default installation paths, append "$(DELPHI)\ziptv6" to Delphi's 
library path.  If the install directory is included in the library path, Delphi will 
be unable to compile any projects.




=====================================
Installation for C++ Builder 4 thru 6
=====================================

If you just ran the install program and ZipTV is present in the IDE's
component palette, skip to step 6.


 1. ALWAYS INTALL ZipTV INTO AN EMPTY DIRECTORY!  DO NOT INSTALL
    INTO A DIRECTORY CONTAINING A PREVIOUS VERSION OF ZIPTV.
 2. Close all files: File / Close All.
 3. Open and compile the ZipTV run-time package: ztv50rt.bpk.  This file
    was installed in subdirectory of where you installed ZipTV: 
    <InstallDir>\srce\ztv50rt.bpk.  This compile will create ztv50rt.bpl
    and tziptv5.dcp.

    NOTE(s): 
    a) the output files (ztv50rt.bpl, ztv50rt.dcp) are runtime package;
    therefore, this package is not installable into Delphi's component
    palette.
    b) the installer creates these two files in the $(BCB)\bin, but 
    also copies them into the windows\system directory so they are accessible
    by the compiler via dos command-line.

 4. Open and compile the ZipTV design-time package: tziptv5.bpk.  This 
    compile will create tziptv5.bpl & tziptv5.dcp.

    NOTE(s): 
    a) the installer creates these two files in the $(BCB)\bin, but
    also copies them into the windows\system directory so they are accessible
    by the compiler via dos command-line.

 5. Install the compiled design-time package ztv50rt.bpl.  This file should
    be located in the $(BCB)\bin directory.

 6. Delphi's menu: 
    a) tools\options select the "library" tab:  append the name of the 
    directory where ZipTV was just installed.  This allows the C++ Builder IDE to
    locate the required unit(s) when compiling projects.

 7. To prevent the C++ Builder's debugger from stopping in the IDE at each
    strategically placed exception the components raise, add our unique exception
    variable into C++ Builder:
    a. Select Menus "Tools" | "Debugger Options..."  the window caption should
       read Debugger Options.
    b. Select tab "Language Exceptions".
    c. Select button "Add".
    d. Add the variable "E_Raise".
    e. Select button "Ok" twice.

    Now Delphi will ignore exceptions the ZipTV components raise while
    monitoring exceptions raised in your application using the components.



BE SURE THAT THE DIRECTORY WHERE ZIPTV WAS INSTALLED IS INCLUDED IN C++ Builder's
'LIBRARY PATH'.  IF THE DIRECTORY IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE LIBRARY PATH,
C++ Builder WILL BE UNABLE TO COMPILE.



*When running any of the demo applications, remember to append the ZipTV
install path. This will allow C++ to find the generated .cpp and .hpp
files.

    MENU: Projects, Options...
    TAB: Directories/Conditionals
    Append the install directory to the top three fields (Include path,
    Library path, Debug source path).



===========================================
Installing the help file into Delphi's IDE:
===========================================
Install the help file into Delphi to enable F1 help with properties and events
within Delphi's Object Inspector.  Pressing F1 is enabled in any code window 
when F1 is pressed while the cursor is on the name of any property, method, or 
event supported in the ZipTV Components.

The most simple way to install help files for components into any version of 
Delphi is to use a 3rd party help installer.  We recommend the following 
installer:

http://www.ziptv.com/download/DelphiHelpInstaller.zip

It's a handy and easy to use utility to install any help system within all versions 
of Delphi.
