Description:                    Simple descendant of TDataSet.
                               Implements simple dataset capabilities
                               for text based data files.
                               Works without BDE.
                               Also capable to store single loaded text
                               table in form (and further, in exe).

    This component provides data base like access to tab
 (or what you want,for example comma) separated text file.
    Since this component is a descedant from TDataSet, it can be used
 with most of data aware controls, such as DBGrid, DBNavigator, etc.
    All fields are established as String fields, for simplicity.
    Also this component can save loaded text file in form and further
 is executable. Such text data can be modified, but doesn't stored.

    Installing:
      Unzip txttable.zip to separate directory.
      Copy contents of D3(D4) folder (two .dcu files and package file)
    to directory in you Delphi path and install package txttbl.


       Added properties and methods:

 property DivChar  : char

       Fields separator, default - Tab (#9)

 property SepChar  : char

       Quote character, default - " (quote symbol)
       Maded to understand field values like

           Mary;Jon;Dave (when DivChar=;)

       For using SepChar in field values use it twice:

              real value:         I say: "Hello";She says "Bye"
              stored in file as:  "I say: ""Hello"";She says ""Bye"""


 property WinText: boolean

     Property added for reading old DOS coded data (national symbols).
       True  - don't decode text
       False - make OemToAnsi conversion

 property KeepData : boolean

       True  - store data in form
       False - load data only from files

 property FileName : string

       name of text file. Better with full pathname

 function    FindKey(const KeyValues: array of const): Boolean;

       This function added for my purposes. It seems like similar
  function in TTable, but it finds only first entry of KeyValues
  in first column of text file.

  procedure   PasteFromClipboard;

       This procedure adds data from clipboard (only if number of columns
    is equal to number of fields in dataset) to you table.

  procedure   CreateFromClipboard;

       This procedure creates dataset from clipboard. First row is
    cosidered is field names.

       Please, send me any suggestions, bug reports and opinions.
