TAniIcon (revision 1.3) :

       Delphi 2.0 / 3.0 component that allows show Win95 or Win NT animated
       icon files in Delphi forms. The animated icons are included
       in the .EXE file, so you don't have to distribute separate .ANI
       files.
       This component is freeware. The source is available for $25.
       Send cheque or cash for $25 to address above and source code
       will be sent by email.

Revisions :
       Version 1.1 supports a new property Frame, which allows
       to set the animation frame statically. There is also
       support for 256 color animated icons.

Known issues:

       This component uses 32x32, 16 color animated icon files only.
       Well, it looks like 95% of all ANI files are in this format.
       After assigning the AniFile property, editing the property
       again doesn't show the assigned icon file.
       Let me know if other problems show up, or if you wish other
       features for this component.

Installation:

       1. In the delphi menu select:
              Component >  Install > Add > Browse

       2. Select AniFile.dcu and accept.

Using:

       1. Drop a TAniIcon component in the main form.
       2. Click on the TAniFile property and browse for
          a .ANI file.
       3. Use the Animated property to enable/disable
          animation.
       4. Use TAniIcon.AniFile.LoadFromFile() to assign other
          animated icons at run-time.
