*********************************************************************
NOTE: If you have used a TRIAL or REGISTERED Version prior to v1.4
please remove the existing BPL's from Delphi and remove all BPL's, 
DCP's, PAS's & DCU's from the old version. v1.4 has had a major 
restructuring.
*********************************************************************

The Registered version includes the ESBPCS Installer - which automates
the steps below after building the packages from source code.

Run the Setup.Exe and the do the following:

INSTALLING TRIAL VERSION COMPONENTS
===================================

Comments here apply only to the Trial Version.

**Note** Please uninstall any previous trial version before installing the
current Trial Version, and also ensure that any old Trial Version 
directory is not in your Delphi or C++  Builder Path.

Delphi 4:
=========

Choose the Tools | Environment Options menu item.  Click the 
"library" tab. Add \ESBPCS\D4 to the "Library Path" edit field. Click
the OK button. This ensures the DCP's are in the Library Path.

Choose the Component | Install Packages menu item.  Click the "Add" 
button.  Browse to the System directory and choose the ESBPCS Design 
time package, EPCSNDD4.BPL. Click OK.  Make sure the checkbox beside 
the package name is checked and then click OK. 

To install the Data Aware Design Time Package, do the same as above 
but install EPCSDDD4.BPL.

**Note: EPCSNRD4.BPL & EPCSDRD4.BPL do not get installed as they are 
runtime packages. They just need to be in the Path.

Delphi 5:
=========

Choose the Tools | Environment Options menu item.  Click the 
"library" tab. Add \ESBPCS\D5 to the "Library Path" edit field. Click
the OK button. This ensures the DCP's are in the Library Path.

Choose the Component | Install Packages menu item.  Click the "Add" 
button.  Browse to the System directory and choose the ESBPCS Design 
time package, EPCSNDD5.BPL. Click OK.  Make sure the checkbox beside 
the package name is checked and then click OK. 

To install the Data Aware Design Time Package, do the same as above 
but install EPCSDDD5.BPL.

**Note: EPCSNRD5.BPL & EPCSDRD5.BPL do not get installed as they are 
runtime packages. They just need to be in the Path.

C++ Builder 4:
==============

Choose the Tools | Environment Options menu item.  Click the 
"library" tab. Add \ESBPCS\BCB4 to the "Library Path" edit field. Click
the OK button. This ensures the BPI's are in the Library Path.

Choose the Component | Install Packages menu item.  Click the "Add" 
button.  Browse to the System directory and choose the ESBPCS Design 
time package, EPCSNDC4.BPL. Click OK.  Make sure the checkbox beside 
the package name is checked and then click OK. 

To install the Data Aware Design Time Package, do the same as above 
but install EPCSDDC4.BPL.

**Note: EPCSNRC4.BPL & EPCSDRC4.BPL do not get installed as they are 
runtime packages. They just need to be in the Path.

C++ Builder 5:
==============

Choose the Tools | Environment Options menu item.  Click the 
"library" tab. Add \ESBPCS\BCB5 to the "Library Path" edit field. Click
the OK button. This ensures the BPI's are in the Library Path.

Choose the Component | Install Packages menu item.  Click the "Add" 
button.  Browse to the System directory and choose the ESBPCS Design 
time package, EPCSNDC5.BPL. Click OK.  Make sure the checkbox beside 
the package name is checked and then click OK. 

To install the Data Aware Design Time Package, do the same as above 
but install EPCSDDC5.BPL.

**Note: EPCSNRC5.BPL & EPCSDRC5.BPL do not get installed as they are 
runtime packages. They just need to be in the Path.

INSTALLING THE HELP FILE IN DELPHI 4
====================================

** Note ** ESBPCS Help has a HUGE number of entries and thus may
cause the Help/FIND to overflow. Sadly we are yet to come up with a
good work-around for this. 

** Note ** On many systems (especially under Win95/Win98) installing
the ESBPCS Help may cause the Help Index to disappear. This is NOT a
fault with ESBPCS rather a limitation of WinHelp.

First of all, ensure Delphi 4 is NOT running.

Copy the .cnt, .toc and .hlp from the \ESBPCS\HELP Directory in to 
the \Delphi4\Help Directory

Open the delphi4.cnt (it is a text file), and at the end, add the 
lines

    :Include esbpcs.toc
    :Index ESB Professional Computation Suite=esbpcs.hlp

Ensuring Carriage Returns after each line. Delete delphi4.gid if it 
exists.

Fire up Delphi 4 and you should have context sensitive help for 
ESBPCS in the IDE

INSTALLING THE HELP FILE IN DELPHI 5
====================================

** Note ** ESBPCS Help has a HUGE number of entries and thus will
cause the Help/FIND to overflow. Sadly we are yet to come up with a
good work-around for this.

** Note ** On many systems (especially under Win95/Win98) installing
the ESBPCS Help may cause the Help Index to disappear. This is NOT a
fault with ESBPCS rather a limitation of WinHelp.

First of all, ensure Delphi 5 is NOT running.

Copy the .cnt, .toc and .hlp from the \ESBPCS\HELP Directory in to 
the \Delphi5\Help Directory

Open the delphi5.ohc (it is a text file) At the end, add the line 
":Include esbpcs.toc" (add only the text, not the quotes). Ensure a
Carriage Return at the end of the line Close delphi5.ohc

Open the Delphi5.ohi (it is a text file) At the end, add the line 
":Index ESB Professional Computation Suite=esbpcs.hlp".
(not the quotes)
Ensure a Carriage Return at the end of the line. Close delphi5.ohi

Open the Delphi5.ohl (it is a text file) At the end, add the line 
":Link esbpcs.hlp". (not the quotes). Ensure a Carriage Return at 
the end of the line. Close delphi5.ohl

Delete delphi5.gid if it exists.

Fire up Delphi 5 and you should have context sensitive help for 
ESBPCS in the IDE.

(Note: if this doesn't work then a method like in D4 also works)

ESBPCS in the IDE.

(Note: if this doesn't work then a method like in BCB4 also works)

TIME2HELP BROWSER
=================

Included in the Help Directory, is the file esbpcs.t2h which can be 
used with the supplied Time2Help Browser, time2helpbrowser.exe.

This allows the relationships between components, methods, routines 
etc to be better examined.

Time2Help Browser is distributed with permission.
