TBzBackground component ver 1.0 for Delphi3
by Vladimir Kladov (C) 1999

TBzBackground is a descendant of TBzAniBackground component.
It has additional property FileName and allows loading image for
using as background from external graphic file on disk just by
assigning file path string to that property. Following formats
are accepted: bmp, ico, wmf, emf, jpg, gif (!!!). The last (gif)
is the main difference from TBzAniBackground. This way simplifies
working with gif format as animated background, but well, it
requires for its work of correspondent modules (so You need to have
TBzConvGIF2Bmp component and TBzGIFImage object been downloaded)
and these two both will be linked with executable adding some
kilobytes to it. So, if You are not planning to use external gif's
in Your application to create backgrounds, it is more good idea
to use TBzAniBackground instead.

To get more information please read BzAniBackground_readme.txt in
this package. And, as it is said there, TBzAniBackground component
is a part of Bonanzas Graphics Library, so You may get source of it
by purchasing this one for $50. TBzBackground is distributed with
source anyway, and it is a good sample of using TBzAniBackground
and TBzConvGIF2Bmp components together.

INSTALLATION

1. First install TBzAniBackground as it is said in installation
   instructions (in file BzAniBackground_readme.txt).
