--------------------------------
RUNNING THE UNREGISTERED VERSION
--------------------------------
The unregistered (this) version will run perfectly in the Delphi
IDE environment (while you have Delphi up).  However, running 
these components without Delphi up will cause a message box to
appear every time the components are 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 Moving Labels, 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 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 ndmovlbl.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 Moving Labels .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 two new controls - 'NDQuakeLabel' and 'NDRunningLabel'.


-----
USAGE
-----
The N&D Moving labels components has several new properties (all prefixed with ND).

NDRunningLabel
ND3DEffect(efNormal, efRaised, efLowered): Will apply the corresponding 3D 
  effect.
*NDActive(True, False):  Will Turn the effect on or off.
NDDirection(rdForward, rdBackward):  Affects the Moving direction of the Label. 
*NDInterval(Integer):  How long the component will wait until firing the effect again.
NDMoveDistance(Integer):  How far over to move at each interval firing.
OnTimerFired (Event):  Fires evey time the effect fires.

NDQuakeLabel
ND3DEffect(efNormal, efRaised, efLowered): Will apply the corresponding 3D 
  effect.
*NDActive(True, False):  Will Turn the effect on or off.
*NDInterval(Integer):  How long the component will wait until firing the effect again.
NDJump(Integer):  How much the letters should jump around (the higher the number, the
  more they will move...)
NDSpace(Integer):  How much room to give each letter to jump around in.
OnTimerFired (Event):  Fires evey time the effect fires.

*  These properties will affect all the moving labels on a form!  To save resources - 
all the moving label components use the same timer, thus the NDActive and NDInterval
will be the same no matter how many componets you have on the form (change one & you
change them all.)
