TBarcode (Description/Installation)
===================================

Description:
------------
TBarcode is a 16/32-bit programming tool for Borlands 
Delphi compiler versions (D1, D2, D3, D4, D5). 
It supports the most common barcode types:
EAN-8, EAN-13, UPC-A, UPC-E, CODE39, 2of5 Interleaved,
CODE128 (A/B/C) and CODE128-EAN, MSI-Plessey, CODABAR
and POSTNET.

TBarcode is designed as a visual component for the Delphi VCL.
A simple barcode printing application is included with full
source code for demonstration purposes. Therefore it takes 
very little time to develop barcode applications that print
high quality barcodes on any windows printer.

A special TQRBarcode component for Quickreports is also encluded.
This component is compatible with all versions of Quickreport
up to latest version QR3.0.x.
