Description

This class library provides some classes that can be used to extend the functionality of Delphi's TStream classes.

Some demo programs are also included in the download.

A user guide is included - PJStreams_Guide.pdf

Compatibility

The classes depend on method overloading and are therefore only compatible with Delphi 4 to 7 and later. They been tested on Delphi 4, 6 and 7.

Installation

Simply extract the files from the zip file and store in the required location on your hard disk. Once compiled, if the .dcu files are placed in a folder on your Delphi search path then the .pas files are not required - simply use the units as required.

The demo files are stored in the Demos sub-folder - open the .bpg file in Delphi to compile and examine the demos.

Known Issues

No bugs or other issues have been reported to date.
