                              INSTALLATION

    Packages should be installed in the following order:
    1. ContLibDX.dpk (where DX = D3 for Delphi 3 and D4 for Delphi 4).
    2. ElPackDX.dpk 
    3. ElDataDX.dpk.

    ElPack was tested under C++Builder 3.0, and appeared to work properly. 
The distribution doesn't include packages for C++Builder 3.0, but if there
is a need to make them, we'll do it. Currently the user can install ElPack
in C++Builder 3.0 himself. 

    Help files setup.

    To include ElPack help files to Delphi help system you will need to add
following lines in delphiX.cfg (located in your Delphi X help folder):
:Link elpack.hlp
:Link ContLib.hlp
:Link ElData.hlp
    and following lines to delphiX.cnt(located in your Delphi X help folder):
:Index ContLib Library =ContLib.hlp
:Index ElPack = ElPack.hlp
:Index ElData = Eldata.hlp
:Include contlib.cnt
:Include elpack.cnt
:Include eldata.cnt

                                PURCHASE 

    ElPack with source code costs $49. See purchase.txt for ordering info.


                               KNOWN BUGS

1. TElDataTree
   TElDataTree incorrectly displays data when not all field-related properties
   are set correctly. This bug DOESN'T HAPPEN in RUN-TIME.
2. ElHeader
   Setting StickySections in ElHeader, that contains expandable sections, was
   not heavily tested.
