Notes for RX Library users
--------------------------
  This version of Oxygen Plan Library can use some functionality from
RX Library version 2.75+, that may be downloaded from http://www.rxlib.com.
  If you want to use blinking and animated GIFs you should install RX Library
prior to installing Oxygen Plan Library and edit the O2Plan.inc file to enable
RX Library support.

Plan Editor demonstration program
---------------------------------
  Oxygen Plan Library includes Plan Editor demonstration program executable
and full source code.
  Note, that to compile Oxygen Plan Editor you must have RX Library installed.
  Run Oxygen Plan Editor and open the Show1.pln plan file to see Oxygen Plan
Library capabilities.


Flicker in Delphi 3.x
---------------------

  Because Delphi 3.x has no internal support for doublebuffering there is some
flicker when repainting plan. If you are interested in Delphi 3 support,
please mail me and I will fix it in next release.


Delphi 3.x notes
----------------
  I plan to refuse from Delphi 3.x support. If you need Delphi 3 support in
Oxygen Plan Library, please mail me at oxygensoft@mtu-net.ru.


Using Blinking and GIF Images
-----------------------------
  To use blinking and GIF images you should install RX Library from
http://www.rxlib.com. I plan to change this behaviour in future releases.
