Installation Instructions

To install these files, the following must be done: Note:  The following instructions assume that you installed Delphi to the default \Delphi directory.

If you ran the installation program, items 1 - 3 are already complete.

1.	Copy all files with the HLP extension to your Delphi\Bin directory. This is where Delphi should have installed its help files.

2.	Copy all files with the KWF extension to your Delphi\Help directory.  Note:  help-files aren’t stored here; this directory is used for keyword indexes and similar files.

3.	Copy all files with the DCU and DCR extension to your Delphi\Lib directory or make a new directory and ensure that in your Options|Environment you reference the location of those files.  These are the library files.  If you used the default installation instructions for Delphi and for Screen Dream, Delphi should have no problem locating the Screen Dream components.

You must perform the following items manually. Directory names used assume you installed these files into the default directory.

4.	To ensure that your on-line help works, you must add the indexes to Delphi's help index.  These are the files with the KWF extension.  Run HelpInst.Exe, from your Delphi Group.

5.	Load the file Delphi.Hdx from your \Delphi\Bin directory into HelpInst, and add the files DI.KWF and TTileBgn.KWF (from the \Delphi\Help directory) to the group of files already present.

6.	Save the file (the keywords are automatically added).

7.	Load Delphi and add the files Devc_Ind.Dcu, CliDn.Dcu, and Bgn.Dcu to your library.

8.	Everything should be ready to go.  If you haven't done so already, read these instructions and the on-line help.  There are a few pitfalls to avoid, and if you read the instructions you'll be more prepared to continue.

9.	Start using Screen Dream!

Help files can also be perused by either creating an icon in the Windows Program Manager, by choosing File|Run from the Program Manager, or by doubleclicking on the files from the File Manager.  In the respective help directory (probably \DELPHI\BIN), these files are named: DI.HLP, and TTILEBGN.HLP.  DI covers the TDevice_Independence component and TTILEBGN covers the TTileBgnd and TClientMove components.
