Welcome to Spoonworx's SxMagnet component
-----------------------------------------

Current version:
SxMagnet V 1.7
july 3rd, 2001


INTRODUCTION
============

This shareware-component enables you to simply develop applications that have 
a WinAmp-Style form-positioning behaviour.

* Windows are attracted by other windows containing the SxMagnet-component 
  and by the screen-borders (the magnetic range of each component is adjustable).
* Windows can stick to each other, so that if you move one window the
  other windows follow the movement.
* Each SxMagnet-component has a group-index by which windows can be 
  arranged. A window is only influenced by windows with the same group-index.
* Holding down CTRL when beginning to move the window will - similar 
  to docking windows in Delphi's IDE - temporally disable the form's magnet.

Afterwards you have to add this path to the library-search path in the Delphi IDE.
