Installing the Trial Components and Help File

NOTE: Please ensure that you have downloaded the correct Trial 
version for the platform you are interested in.

Backing up your component library (Pre Delphi 3)

Before installing this (or any) component collection, you should 
make a backup of your component library.  This file is usually 
located under the \BIN\ directory from your default Delphi directory.
The Delphi 1.0 library is usually called COMPLIB.DCL, while the 
Delphi 2.0 library is usually called CMPLIB32.DCL.

This is not an issue if you are using Delphi 3.0 or above.

Installing the components

You should find directories with the required components in them

Delphi 1:
Choose the Options | Install Components menu item.  Click the Add
button.  Click the Browse button and locate the file addict.pas.  
This file should be located in the \ADDICT\DELPHI1\ directory (see 
the note above).  Click the OK button.

Delphi 2:
Choose the Component | Install menu item.  Click the Add button.

\ADDICT\BCB4\ to the "Library Path" edit field.  Click the OK button.


The components should be installed to the Addict tab of the component 
palette.


Backing up DELPHI.HDX (Below Delphi 3)

Before installing Addict's keyword file (ADDICT.KWF) into Delphi 1.0 or
Delphi 2.0, you should make a backup of DELPHI.HDX.  This file is 
usually located in the \BIN\ directory from your default Delphi 
directory.


Installing the Help File in Delphi 1.0 or 2.0

First of all, make sure Delphi is not running.

To simplify the installation process, copy the ADTRIAL.HLP and 
ADTRIAL.KWF files from the \ADDICT\HELP\ directory to the \HELP\ 
directory from your default Delphi directory. 

From your Delphi \HELP\ directory, run the HELPINST.EXE program.  
With Delphi 1.0, this program is located in Delphi's \HELP\ 
directory.  With Delphi 2.0, this program is located in Delphi's 
\HELP\TOOLS\ directory.  To avoid setting paths for the keyword 
files, make sure HELPINST.EXE is run from Delphi's \HELP\ 
directory, regardless of where the HELPINST.EXE program may 
reside.

Once the program is running, click on the + button, and add the 
DELPHI.HDX file mentioned previously.  Next, click on the + button 
once again, and add ADTRIAL.KWF.  Click on the save button, and 
close the program.

You should now have context-sensitive help available for Addict, 
by pressing F1 in the Object Inspector.

Installing the Help File in Delphi 3
---
First of all, ensure Delphi 3 is NOT running.

Copy the ADTRIAL.HLP and ADTRIAL.CNT files into the Delphi 3 Help 
File Directory.

In this directory, edit (using NotePad or any other text editor) 
DELPHI3.CNT.  At the bottom of the file add:

:Include adtrial.cnt
:Index Addict Reference=adtrial.hlp

Note:  The colons (':') are required.

Save the changes to DELPHI3.CNT and close the file.

When you run Delphi 3.0 it should now have the Addict Help integrated.

Installing the Help File in C++ Builder 3
---
First of all, ensure C++ Builder 3 is NOT running.

Copy the ADDICT.HLP and ADDICT.CNT files into the C++ Builder 3 Help
File Directory.

In this directory, edit (using NotePad or any other text editor) 
BCB3.CNT.  At the bottom of the file add:

:Include addict.cnt
:Index Addict Reference=addict.hlp

Note:  The colons (':') are required.

Save the changes to BCB3.CNT and close the file.

When you run C++ Builder 3 it should now have the Addict Help 
integrated.


Installing the Help File in Delphi 4
---
First of all, ensure Delphi 4 is NOT running.

Copy the ADDICT.HLP and ADDICT.CNT files into the Delphi 4 Help 
File Directory.

In this directory, edit (using NotePad or any other text editor) 
DELPHI4.CNT.  At the bottom of the file add:

:Include addict.cnt
:Index Addict Reference=addict.hlp

Note:  The colons (':') are required.

Save the changes to DELPHI4.CNT and close the file.

When you run Delphi 4 it should now have the Addict Help integrated.

Installing the Help File in C++ Builder 4
---
First of all, ensure C++ Builder 4 is NOT running.

Copy the ADDICT.HLP and ADDICT.CNT files into the C++ Builder 4 Help 
File Directory.

In this directory, edit (using NotePad or any other text editor) 
BCB4.CNT.  At the bottom of the file add:

:Include addict.cnt
:Index Addict Reference=addict.hlp

Note:  The colons (':') are required.

Save the changes to BCB4.CNT and close the file.

When you run C++ Builder 4 it should now have the Addict Help 
integrated.

Alternatively you could use OpenHelp.

Installing the Help File in Delphi 5
---
First of all, ensure Delphi 5 is NOT running.

Copy the ADDICT.HLP and ADDICT.CNT files into the Delphi 5 Help 
File Directory.

In this directory, edit (using NotePad or any other text editor) 
DELPHI5.CNT.  At the bottom of the file add:

:Include addict.cnt
:Index Addict Reference=addict.hlp

Note:  The colons (':') are required.

Save the changes to DELPHI5.CNT and close the file.

When you run Delphi 5 it should now have the Addict Help integrated.

Alternatively you could use OpenHelp.

Installing the Help File in C++ Builder 5
---
First of all, ensure C++ Builder 5 is NOT running.

Copy the ADDICT.HLP and ADDICT.CNT files into the C++ Builder 5 Help 
File Directory.

In this directory, edit (using NotePad or any other text editor) 
BCB5.CNT.  At the bottom of the file add:

:Include addict.cnt
:Index Addict Reference=addict.hlp

Note:  The colons (':') are required.

Save the changes to BCB5.CNT and close the file.

When you run C++ Builder 5 it should now have the Addict Help 
integrated.

Alternatively you could use OpenHelp.


Uninstalling the components and help file
---
If you should ever have to uninstall Addict, simply remove the component 
from your component library by the same process mentioned above, with 
the exception of pressing the Remove button instead of the Add button.  
Once removed, recompile your component library by pressing the OK button.

To remove the help file from Delphi's help system, follow the exact 
process for installing the help file, with the exception of adding 
ADDICT.KWF before pressing the save button.  Next delete the 
ADDICT.* files from your Delphi \HELP\ directory.  If you’re using 
Delphi 3.0 or above, remove references to Addict’s help files from 
the corresponding CNT files.

Addict installs entirely to the base directory you specified during 
installation and modifies no system files.  To remove Addict from 
your system entirely, simply remove this directory from your system 
(clicking on the UnInstall icon will accomplish this.)
