TBarcode (Description/Installation)
===================================

Description:
------------
TBarcode is a 16/32-bit programming tool for Borlands 
Delphi- and C++-Builder versions (D1, D2, D3, CPPB1.0). 
It supports the most common barcode types:
EAN-8, EAN-13, UPC-A, UPC-E, CODE39, 2of5 Interleaved,
CODE128 (A/B/C), MSI-Plessey and CODABAR.

TBarcode is designed as a visual component for the Delphi VCL.
A simple barcode printing application is included with full
source code for demonstration purposes. Therefore it takes 
very little time to develop barcode applications that print
high quality barcodes on any windows printer.

A special TQRBarcode component for Quickreports is also encluded.
This component is compatible with Quickreport v1.0, v1.1 and v2.0 
as well as with Delphi-1, Delphi-2 and Delphi-3, and CPPB 1.0.

Please note that there are four different VCL versions available:
==> 16-bit component for Delphi-1 in directory \VCL_D1
==> 32-bit component for Delphi-2 in directory \VCL_D2
==> 32-bit component for Delphi-3 in directory \VCL_D3
==> 32-bit component for CPPB 1.0 in directory \VCL_CPP
