How To: Add the unit "splshfrm" to the uses instruction line of
        the unit from which you want to call the Splash Form.
        Call the function "ShowSplashForm", to show a Bitmap
        in the middle of the screen.
        The parameter of this function is an longint-value.
        It is the value for the time, how long the SplashScreen should appear
        in 1/1000 sec.
        If you call the function with value 0, a keystroke or a mouse-click
        let the Splashscreen disappear. If you want to assign
        a method to the app.OnMessage -Event, it must be done before
        calling ShowSplashForm(0).
        Please look at the example-project of the zip-file.

        For the custom-bitmap a Resource-file has to changed.
        SPLSH16.RES for Delphi16 and SPLSH32.RES for Delphi32.
        Open it with the Image-Editor, and create your own image.
        The name of the Resource has to be "SPLSHFRM_RES".
        This resource-file will be compiled in your EXE-File.


Installing: Copy the files SPLSHFRM.PAS, SPLSHFRM.FRM
            SPLSH16.RES, SPLSH32.RES into a Directory
            where Delphi can find the units, i.e. \delphi\lib.
            The project-files can be placed anywhere.
