About the project:
-----------------

Delphi Fundamentals is a project that aims to implement a set of
base units that will allow for higher level development in Delphi.
The outline I currently have in mind is:

    L0   Base units
           Maths, Strings, DateTime, Streams and Data structures (simple types).
    L1   Internet units
    L2   Data structures (complex types)
    L3   Parsers



Miscellaneous:
-------------

* Only Delphi 4/5 is currently supported.



Copyright information:
---------------------

These units are copyrighted by the author (c) 1995-2000.

There is no restrictions on use of these libraries in your applications,
including commercial applications. Visible credits somewhere in your
application is not required, although it would be appreciated.

Included is the complete source code. In this same spirit I ask that you
contribute to its further development.

You are not allowed to distribute a modified version of the source files though,
nor misrepresent the origin of these libraries.

Please send any changes, suggestions or bug reports to the author for inclusion
in future releases.
