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


TSevenSegment is a Delphi component used to draw seven segment
display on your form. You can display both numeric values (such
as "1", "123", "123.45", ...) and alphanumeric values (such as
"Error", "1E-20", ...).

As a bonus, I also included another component in this package,
called TSevenSegmentTime. This component may be used to draw time
value (such as 12:00:00, 10:30:00 PM,  ...) on a seven segment
display.

The trial version of TSevenSegment component is fully functional
but will display a "nag" screen.
