Installation Instructions
-------------------------

To install this component set for design time access in Delphi/CBuilder, add
file PMemo6xxx.bpl to your package list (x is the Delphi version you're using,
see next section).

To do that, follow normal package installation procedure, repeated here for
your convenience:
- click menu Components/Install Packages...
- click button Add...
- browse to PMemo6xxx.bpl, click Open (x is your Delphi/CBuilder version)
- click OK

You should have a new palette page, called "PlusMemo" with TPlusMemo
and accessory components on it.

You may need to add the directory where PlusMemo is located to your
library path.  If Delphi complains that it does not find PlusMemo.dcu
at compile time, it means it is not on the library path.
In that case, go to Tools/Environment Options..., select tab "Library"
and enter the PlusMemo directory to your library path.

Package naming convention
-------------------------   

This is the corresondamce between package name and Delphi/CBuilder version:
PMemo6Pack7.bpl    Delphi 7
PMemo6Pack9.bpl    Delphi 2005
PMemo6D2006.bpl    Delphi 2006
PMemo6D2007.bpl    Delphi 2007
PMemo6D2009.bpl    Delphi 2009
PMemo6D2010.bpl    Delphi 2010
PMemo6DXE.bpl      Delphi XE
PMemo6DXE2.bpl     Delphi XE2
PMemo6DXE3.bpl     Delphi XE3
PMemo6DXE4.bpl     Delphi XE4
PMemo6DXE5.bpl     Delphi XE5


Data aware version Installation Instructions
--------------------------------------------

Design time packages from Electro-Concept Mauricie do not include the
data aware version of PlusMemo, TDBPlusMemo, because not all Delphi
editions have database support.

To add TDBPlusMemo to your component palette, add files Plusdb.pas and
Plusdb.dcr to a design time package of your choice.  These files are included
in zip archives you downloaded.  We recommend not using the PlusMemo package
itself, otherwise you will have to reinstall it every time you update your
PlusMemo version.  It is best put it to a new package or another one where
you use to put third party components.


Help Installation Instructions
------------------------------

PlusMemo documentation is provided in Microsoft Help2 format.  It must
be registered on your system in order to be viewed.  To do that, you need to
register "PlusMemoH2.hxs" and the "COL_PlusMemoH2.HxC" collection file.  
The new namespace to register is "PlusMemo", and the title id of the help file
collection is "PlusMemoH2".

If you don't have Help2 registration tools at hand, or if you are simply not
familiar enough with the Microsoft Help2 system, you can use the help
registration batch file (*.bat) provided with PlusMemo.  Here is the procedure:

- Download the program InnovaHxReg.exe from our web site, place it in your
  PlusMemo directory (browse to
  http://www.ecmqc.com/plusmemo/Help/InnovaHxReg.exe for that);
- Open a command window, browse to the PlusMemo directory;
- run RegisterPMemoH2xxx.bat from the command line. xxx is Delphi or CBuilder
  version dependant, similar to the package names.

One these steps are done, you should be able to view the help file by typing
the following command, either from the command window above, or from the
Run... facility available from the start menu:

dexplore /helpcol ms-help://PlusMemo

It is also possible to integrate the help with Delphi or CBuilder help system,
for which you will find instructions in the "Installation" topic of the 
help file.
