--------------------------------
RUNNING THE UNREGISTERED VERSION
--------------------------------
The unregistered (this) version will run perfectly in the Delphi
IDE environment (while you have Delphi up).  However, running 
this component without Delphi up will cause a message box to
appear every time the component is created.  Needless to say,
the registered version does not pop up the message box.

----------------
PRE-INSTALLATION
----------------
Make sure the .DCU and .DCR files exist within the same directory.

To be safe, make a backup copy of your current Delphi component
library (CompLib.DCL), usually located in the '\Delphi\Bin\' 
directory.


------------
INSTALLATION
------------
To install your N&D Gauge, start by selecting and unzipping the components 
for the appropriate version of Delphi that you are using (delphi10.zip or 
delphi10.zip).  Then select 'Install Components' from the 'Options' menu.  
The Install Components dialog box will appear on your screen.

Next, click the 'Add' button to open the Add Module dialog box.  In this
dialog box you can either use the 'Browse' button to locate the N&D .DCU
file unit or type the path and name in the edit box.

If the unit in question is located on a path not currently included in the
search path, Delphi will automatically take care of appending the new path
to the search path. (Take note, however, that the maximum size of the search
path is only 125 characters.  If the search path contains more than 125
characters, you will encounter an 'Identifier Expected' compiler error when
trying to rebuild your component library.)

After adding all the N&D Gauge .DCU unit, click 'OK' in the Install
Components dialog box and Delphi will rebuild its component library and add
a new 'N&D' page to your component palette.  Clicking on the 'N&D' component
page will reveal a new control - 'NDGauge'.

-----
USAGE
-----
The N&D Gauge component has several new properties (all prefixed with ND).

NDCaption:  Caption for Gauge.
NDCaptionFont:  Font for the Caption.
NDCaptionOn (True, False):  Show (or not) the Caption.
NDCaptionSpace:  How much Space to put after the Caption.
NDCaptionStyle (efNormal, efRaised, efLowered): Will apply the corresponding 3D 
  effect to the Caption.
NDLightLength:  How long will the "lights" be.
NDLightOffColor:  The Color of the "off" Lights.  Hint:  Set the Color of the 
  off Lights to the Background Color and the lights will seem to appear as
  the Percent increases.
NDLightOnColor:  The Color of the "on" Lights.
NDLightShape(lsp3Point, lspArrow, lspDiamond, lspDownTriangle, lspEllispe, 
  lspLeftTriangle, lspRectangle, lspRightTriangle, lspRndRectangle,
  lspTriangle):  The Shape of the Lights.
NDLightSpace:  How much space to put between the lights.
NDLightStyle (efNormal, efRaised, efLowered): Will apply the corresponding 3D 
  effect to the Lights.
NDMaxValue:  Max NDValue.
MDMinValue:  Min NDValue.
NDNumLights:  The Number of Lights to Use.
NDPercentFont:  Font for the Percent.
NDPercentOn (True, False):  Show (or not) the Percent.
NDPercentSpace:  How much Space to put after the Percent.
NDPercentStyle (efNormal, efRaised, efLowered): Will apply the corresponding 3D 
  effect to the Percent.
