XDK version 1.11

*******************************************************
* WELCOME TO THE EXPERT DEVELOPMENT KIT for DELPHI 3! *
*******************************************************

One of the most difficult aspects of programming Delphi 
add-ins is that you have to create them non-visually. 
And visually creating things is one of the strongest 
points of Delphi. 

The eXpert Development Kit (XDK) enables you to create 
add-ins in a visual way ! The XDK provides a collection 
of native VCL-components and functions that can be used 
in Delphi 3 design-time packages. That way you can 
combine the use of XDK and low-level Open Tools API and 
direct IDE calls with a possibility of on-the-fly 
loading/unloading packages without restarting 
the Delphi IDE.

Changes
-------
This version fixed error (from the version 1.1):
"New eXpert Desktop Page registration error"

=======================================================
                    INSTALLATION
=======================================================

To install the components, start Delphi 3, and select
"Component | Install Packages..." to display the 
"Packages" page in the Project Options dialog.  

Install the XDK's design-time packages in order:
XDK.dpl, XD.dpl, XDKdsgn.dpl, XDdsgn.dpl, XDKdemo.dpl.
After this the component palette includes the "XDK" page. 

By default, the XDK is installed into the C:\XDK directory.

After the XDK components are installed, it is necessary 
to update the library search path in Delphi. 
Add the C:\XDK\BIN\ directory at the end of 
the Library Path.

After installation you can see XDK Demo. 
Select "XDK Demo" menu in Delphi IDE for this.
