MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
---------------------------
Cima Components requires:
    C++ Builder 
 
 
--------------------------
INSTALLING CIMA COMPONENTS
--------------------------

Cima Components is distributed as
a single zipped file (CimaComp.zip). 

Be sure to extract files to their original directories:
 - Decoder
 - Examples
 - Help
 - Units

(Also, make sure to use a zip extractor that can handle
 long file names. In WinZip, make sure the
 "recurse folders" check-box is checked.)

Once the file is unzipped, follow the next two steps to
install the components and the help files with C++ Builder.


   1. Register Cima Components Help Files
-----------------------------------------
To register the help files with C++ Builder, simply run
the RegCimaHelp.exe program located in the \Help
sub-directory. 
 
This program automatically registers the CimaComp.cnt 
and CimaComp.hlp files.


   2. Install Cima Components onto the C++ Builder palette
----------------------------------------------------------
Select the Component|Install menu item in C++ Builder, 
press the Add button, and then the Browse button to display
the Add Component dialog box.  

From here, navigate to the directory where you extracted
Cima Components, and then proceed to the \Units sub-directory.
Now select the TcimaShare.obj file (to install TCimaShareware)
and press the Open button.  Next, press the OK button in the Install 
Components dialog box to install the component onto the 
C++ Builder palette.

Repeat step 2 and select the TCimaReg.obj(to install TCimaRegister)
A new Cima page is created which will contain the Cima Components.


-----------
THE DECODER
-----------
The Decoder is used to get registration numbers for your users.
Just run the file "TCimaRegister Decoder.exe".

Note:  The un-registered version will only produce
       registration numbers for the examples.  The
       registered version is fully functional.


-----------------------------
UN-INSTALLING CIMA COMPONENTS
-----------------------------
Remove Cima Components from the C++ Builder component palette
by selecting Component|Install... and then selecting the
TCimaShare and TCimaReg units from the Install Components
list and pressing the Remove button.


----------------------------------
CIMA COMPONENTS REGISTERED VERSION
----------------------------------
The registered version will work without the IDE running and
the Decoder is fully functional.
