TAniIcon (revision 1.5) :

        Delphi 2.0 / 3.0 / 4.0 component that allows show Win95 or Win NT
        animated icon files in Delphi forms. The animated icons are included
        in the .EXE file, so you don't have to distribute separate .ANI
        files.
        This component is freeware. The source is available for $25.
        Send check or cash for $25 to address above and source code
        will be sent by email.

Revisions :
        Version 1.1 supports a new property Frame, which allows
        to set the animation frame statically. There is also
        support for 256 color animated icons.
        Version 1.5 supports correct deleting assigned animated icon
        property.
