The Pixelpack component package is supplied as a ZIP file 

This ZIP file have a directory structure that separates demos, binaries and 
Delphi3/Delphi4 files - we recommend that you keep this structure in order 
to avoid complications.

Unzip the files to a directory of your choice.

Start Delphi 3.0 and select the "Component" menu. Select "Install Packages..."
and click the "Add" button in the window. From the file-menu dialog that pops 
up, select the .DPL file in the lib directory and click "OK".

Exit the "Install Packages" dialog by pressing the "OK" button. 
By now, a new page (PixelPack) on your component palette should be added, and 
the components are ready to use. 

Before compiling a project that uses the PixelPack components, be sure to 
include the path of the .dcu files in your search path. You can include this 
path for all projects in 

Tools | Enviroment Options | Library | Library Path

or for the current project in

Project | Options | Directories / Conditionals | Search Path

* 2. Installation of the help file                                         *

The help file supplied with the components is compatible with the Delphi 3.0 
help system. To make it work inside the Delphi IDE, however, a number of 
steps have to be completed.

1. Shut down Delphi

2. Locate the Delphi 3.0 help directory. This is usually 
   "x:\program files\borland\Delphi3\help"

3. Copy to this directory the files PixelPack.hlp and PixelPack.cnt

4. In the help directory, there is a file named Delphi3.cfg
   Add to the bottom of this  file the line :

   :Link PixelPack.hlp

5. Open the file called Delphi3.cnt using NotePad. "Touch" this file, ie. 
   save it again without changes while making sure that the file date has 
   changed. Somehow, Delphi only discover additions to Delphi.cfg if the 
   date of Delphi3.cnt has changed

The help file should now be integrated in the Delphi IDE. 

We are sorry about this long and boring manual installation procedure, and 
we hope to make it easier in the future using an installer like installshield.
