   Language  : Delphi for Windows version 1.0

   Sutron develops mission critical Windows programs for environmental real-time data
   collection which multi-task and run for extended periods. We also offer a complete
   line of data recorders, sensors, and RTUs for control applications. Call and ask
   for a sales person or a catalog if you are interested.

   The executable may be freely distributed, executed, and copied.

   This software is made available to the public "as-is" without warranty of any kind.

   PropExp.DLL uses the version control installable dll feature of delphi,
   to implement new menu features which help with the creation
   of component properties. This removes a lot of the tedium from adding
   new properties to a control.

   Before you can use the property expert you need to add it as a version control
   manager. If you already have a version control manager perhaps you can add PropExp
   as second one ... although I am not sure. To add it you need to edit the
   C:\WINDOWS\DELPHI.INI file and add the following section:

   [Version Control]
   VCSManager=C:\wherever\PROPEXP.DLL

   The next time you run Delphi, an Extension menu will be added. Use Set Properties...
   to tell PropExp what kind of property you are trying to make. Arrow around in your
   source file to the appropriate section and then select Paste Published, Private,
   Protected, and Methods to add the stub code for your property to the component.

   PropExp is really just a first shot at using Delphi's version control interface
   to customize the IDE. There may be other ways ... but this was the one that was
   somewhat documented. At the very least PropExp should encourage others to explore
   this interface and add their own customizations.
