//   What is it?   //
/////////////////////
PTools is a set of components and experts that help the designer develop 
an application without the need for coding.

/////////////////////
//   Installation  //
/////////////////////
First choose the Delphi file version (16, 32). Unzip the file in
a seperate dirctory.
Installation is divided into two parts
-  Installing the complete set of components.
-  Or, installing a single component.

Installing the complete set of components and experts:
======================================================
   This is the preferred method, because you will make use of all 
the capabilities of the software.  Some of the components are better 
installed as a set, like TWavePlay and TWavePause.  In order to 
install the complete set you need to do the following steps:

1.  Copy all files with the extension DCU, DFM, DCR in a single directory.
2.  Start Delphi.  In the Options menu, select Install Components item.  
    A dialog with the list of installed components will shows.
3.  Click on the Add button, a dialog will show.
4.  In this dialog enter the PTOOLREG.DCU name, or use the browse 
    button to find it.
5.  Click on the OK button, then Delphi will start installing 
    the components and the experts.
6.  You are done.  Now you can explore software using the sample project.

Installing a single component:
==============================
   If you dont need all the components, or just want to check each 
one at a time, you can install a component singly.  To install 
a single component follow the next steps for each component:
1.  Do as mentioned in steps 1 to 3 above.
2.  Then instead of entering PTOOLREG.DCU enter the file name 
    corresponding to the component to be installed.  The following 
    table shows the component name and the file name containing the needed 
    parts of that component.
