Description
-----------
The RapidEvaluator Delphi component is a real COMPILER of the mathematical 
expressions (formulas), such as "SIN(0.5)+COS(x)*2". It checks the expression
syntax and generates the real machine code for evaluating given formula.
The code generated is optimized to use FPU in order to achieve the maximal speed
of calculations: it's even  up to 2 TIMES FASTER THAN DELPHI'S 32-bit code.
To satisfy your personal needs you can add external user-defined variables and 
functions in addition to built-in ones. Use RapidEvaluator to calculate 
formulas that is unknown at the stage of program compilation, for example to 
plot and tabulate functions, to make numerical computations and so on.

Platforms
---------
  Platforms supported by RapidEvaluator:
  Delphi 3, 4, 5
  C++ Builder 4, 5

Installation 
------------
  Start Delphi as usual. Select Tools|Environment Options... on the menu bar.
  Go to Library tab and add the full path of your RapidEvaluator directory to 
  the Library Path if you have not already done so. The Library Path field 
  should then look similar to this:

  $(DELPHI)\Lib;$(DELPHI)\Bin;$(DELPHI)\Imports;c:\RapidEval

  Click OK. Select Component|Install Packages... on the menu bar. Click Add...
  Set Files of type to Package library, locate and select the RapidEval_DX.bpl 
  package library file in your RapidEval directory, and click Open. After this 
  RapidEval package will be installed in a new tab on the component palette. 

Registration
------------
Registration fee: US $30.

Shareware
---------
  This software is distributed as shareware.  The essence of shareware
  is to provide you with software that you get to "try before you buy", while
  rewarding the efforts of the developers.  When you think about it, the
  opportunity to try before you buy is the ultimate guarantee of a product's
  quality and usefulness to you.  In fact, shareware can be just as 
  professionally developed as software that comes in a fancy box (with a lot
  of hype and yet no way to determine issues such as the "look and feel", etc.),
  but the price of shareware can be set lower because it does not have to cover
  expensive marketing costs. Still, software businesses that market their
  products as shareware need to get paid for their efforts just as any other
  business.  When you support the shareware concept, it ensures that the concept
  will continue to work and you will continue to get to "try before you buy".
  Thank you for understanding and honoring the "shareware" concept.
