            Installing TAwkZip into Delphis' component palette.


1.  Select 'Component', 'Install'.
2.  Select 'Add', 'Browse'.
3.  Select the directory containing the TAwkZip.DCU.
4.  Select 'TAwkZip.DCU' and click OK on each box that appears.
5.  The TAwkZip control will be added to the 'Awk' section of the component
palette.

*  The directory containing TAwkZip.DCU must be included in Delphis'
Component Library Search path.  To alter this path, see
Options|Environment|Library.




              Merging TAwkZip.HLP file into Delphis help facility.

To install TAwkZip.HLP so help can be called while in Delphis' Object
Inspector on a specific TAwkZip property when the F1 key is pressed, the
keyword file (TAwkZip.KWF) must be merged into Delphis' master index file
(DELPHI.HDX).  To do this, follow the few simple steps as follows.

If Delphi is loaded... unload Delphi from the windows environment.
Run HELPINST.EXE.  Located in the Delphi\help directory.

1.  Select Options|Search Paths.
2.  Enter the search paths where Delphis' help files are located
    (...Delphi\help directory).  Append a semicolon to the end of this path
    and add the dir where TAwkZip.KWF can be found.

    Select Open.
    Load the DELPHI.HDX file.  (usually found in the Delphi\bin directory)

    Select Keywords|Add Keyword File.
    Search for TAwkZip.KWF, when found press OK.

3.  Select File|Save.  This will merge the keyword file into Delphis' help
    environment.

Once the keyword file has been merged into the Delphi master help index,
Delphi will be able to search for help with TAwkZip properties and events
by pressing F1 within the Object Inspector.  However, unless the new help
file is on the current path, Delphi will not be able to load the help file.
There are two options to resolve this.  First, move the help file to a
directory on the current path.  A good place is the Delphi\Bin directory.
The second option is to add a line to the 'Files section' of the WinHelp.INI
file located in the Windows directory.  Each entry in this file specifies the
location of a help file.  For example, each entry has the following form:

    TAwkZip.HLP = <full path>

    where <fullpath> indicates the directory where the file is located.



Note: Due to a bug in HelpInst program, the directories specified in the
Options|Search Paths dialog box are not saved when the program terminates.
Therefore, each time HelpInst is run, the directories must be re-entered.
