>>>>> If you ordered the registered version of TCompLHA, see REGINFO.TXT

This component is fully functional SHAREWARE.

If you find TCompLHA useful, registration will get you the
latest version, a personal ID to eliminate the occasional
reminder message, access to our highly regarded (and, I have
to say it, rarely needed) support AND a nice warm fuzzy feeling.

Registration details are at the end of this file.

1. Key features:

*  Standard support for Delphi 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and C++ Builder
*  Create and manage multi-file compressed archives
*  Simple one-step methods for most operations, including backup/restore
*  Create segmented (multi-disk) archives with the TSegLHA component
*  Read/write archives made with LHArc and LHA (also shell utilities like WinZip)
*  Read compatible with TCompress archives
*  Compress any stream (e.g. memory, database blobs) directly to/from archives
*  Standard user interface provided, fully customizable
*  Encryption, wild card and self-extracting EXEs all supported
*  Built-in verify and "safe" modes -- ideal for Internet and communication applications
*  NATIVE compression -- no DLLs or OCXes worries
*  Full component source code available


Note: TCompLHA provides very comprehensive archive management capabilities.
Most developers might only need to drop a TCompLHA component on their form,
set a couple of properties and call its Compress, Scan and Expand methods in order
to create and work with their own archives... Others might use the encryption,
disk-spanning or self-extracting archive features for a wide range of
archiving and backup-related tasks.

Brief description:

TCompLHA helps you create and manage archives compatible with the popular freeware
LHArc and LHA utilities (and shell utilities like WinZip). Simple one-step methods
such as Scan, Compress, Expand, Delete and Verify make archive management very easy.

Key properties such as ArchiveName, CompressionMethod, Confirm, and FilesToProcess
provide easy control over how files are processed, including a fully customizable user
interface.

Extended features like encryption, wildcard handling, disk spanning, one-step
backup/restore and self-extracting archive support make TCompLHA a very versatile
compression, file management, backup and installation tool set.

TCompLHA comes with an extensive demonstration, source examples and comprehensive
help and keyword files.  Component source is optionally available for registered users.
Supports Delphi 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and C++ Builder.
