---------------------------------------------------
1. Delphi 3.0 installation / upgrade:

a) Unzip dcu-files from Delphi3Units.zip to your
   FIBPlus Source directory.

b) Select "Tools" | "Environment Options..." on the
   menu bar. Go to "Library" tab and add the full
   path of your FIBPlus Source directory to the
   Library Path if you have not already done so.
   The Library Path field should then look similar
   to this:

   $(DELPHI)\Lib;$(DELPHI)\Bin;$(DELPHI)\Imports;c:\fibplus\source

   Click OK.

c) Select "File" | "Open..." on the menu bar. Set
   "Type of files" to Delphi package source, locate
   and select the FIBPlus3.dpk package source file
   in your FIBPlus Packages directory, and click
   "Open".

d) A package editor window will appear. Click
   "Compile", then click "Install".

e) Close the package editor window. If you are
   asked if you want to save changes to the
   package, answer "No".

f) Repeat steps c) through e) with the
   FIBPlusEditors3 package.

NOTE: The order in which you install the two
      packages is important; if you install them in
      the wrong order, Delphi will probably
      complain about not being able to find
      FIBPlus3.dpl the next time it is started. To
      fix this, select "Component" | "Install
      Packages", remove the two packages, and
