================================================================

Requirements
============
* Borland Delphi 5 (or higher).
* OS: Windows Me/2000/XP. (not try in Win9x, but it should ok)

How to install?
===============
Run the installation program. Choose the destination folder. 
After running of the installation program:
1. Run Delphi 5 (or Higher)
2. Select 'File/Open...' menu item
3. Open the .dpk file (hpcol.dpk).
4. Press 'Install' button in the Package Editor.
5. Make sure that the destination folder is present in the 
   Delphi IDE search path. 
   For information, you should copy file "dsgintf.pas" into 
   your Delphi5\lib or or add search path into 
   delphi5\source\toolsapi (for Delphi5 Standard, I don't 
   know what the standard folder for Delphi6 or Higher).
   The Important to know is, you must add Delphi search path
   into the folder where "dsgintf.pas" exist.

Help file
=========
  The help information of My VCL is available as a separate
freeware product. You can freely download it from my web site
if I already make and put it there. I still work on it now.
