 1. General
 ----------

 This unit implements a replacement for Delphi's
 MessageDlg function, that uses a resource file instead
 of having the text hard-coded into the unit.  This
 makes it very easy to translate the messages and use
 the MessageDlg functions within applications writen in 
 languages other than English.  Also, since source code
 is included, you can easily customize it to fit your
 particular needs.

 This file is distributed as freeware and without 
 warranties of any kind.  Use of this software is
 at your own risk.  See the License Agreement for more
 information.


 2. Installation
 ---------------

 To use this unit in your applications all you have to
 do is copy the following files into a directory in 
 Delphi's search path:

   a)  MsgDlg.pas 

   b)  MsgDlg16.res   (if you are using Delphi1)
       MsgDlg32.res   (if you are using Delphi2/3)

 and then add the MsgDlg unit to the USES clause of any
 unit in your application in which you wish to use the
 new routines.


 3. Using this unit
 ------------------

 Using the routines in this unit is exactly the same as
 using the MessageDlg and MessageDlgPos functions in 
 Delphi.  The only difference is that, to prevent
 conflicts, the functions in this unit are called
 MessageDialog and MessageDialogPos instead.


 4. Other languages available
 ----------------------------

 You can find in our web site Spanish resource files
 for this unit.  Other languages will be added soon,
 so visit our site to see if the resource files have 
 been already translated to the language you need.

 If the language is not already available, send us 
 to tech-support@bitsoft.com a translated version of
 the *.RC file, which can be edited with any text
 editor.  We will convert it to a resource file and
 send the translated version back to you.  Note: you
 only need to translate the strings at the end of the
 file.
