The TAdrockAlarmList Component allows you to set an unlimited number of alarms
each of which can have a very flexible format. The format can contain wildcards
using the ? to match any position.

The add method requires that the input format must follow HH:MM:SS but any of
the HH, MM, or SS can contain a ? to match any number in these positions.

??:??:?? will trigger an event every second.
??:10:?? will trigger an event every second for any hour but only when the 
         minutes = 10. E.G: 12:10:00 - 12:10:59, 01:10:00 - 01:10:59

Refer to the help file included for more examples.


	Installation
	========
       Getting Started 
               UNZIP the archive (eg: ADALARM.ZIP) to a directory temporarily.
               Create a directory to hold this component and any others that
                you will install in the future. (eg: C:\DELPHI\COMPONEN) It is
                easier to put new components in a separate directory since you 
                can update them easily and if there is a new release of DELPHI
                it will not effect your add-on component directory.

       Installation of the HLP and KWF files.  
               Exit DELPHI is you are running it, as you can not install the
                KWF file while delphi is running.
               Move or copy help file (e.g.: ADALARM.HLP) to your Delphi Bin
                directory (suggest C:\DELPHI\BIN); it only really needs to be
                somewhere on the path, but the Delphi Bin directory is a good
                place. Delphi has a program to add our help index to Delphi's
                help index. What this does is allow you to search for both 
                delphi commands and the commands and properties of the 
                component you want to install. 
               This program is called HELPINST and is found in the DELPHI\HELP
                sub-directory. Copy the keyword file (ADALARM.KWF) to the 
                delphi help directory.   
               Run Delphi's HELPINST program and load the DELPHI.HDX file
	    from the DELPHI\BIN Directory.
               Add the .KWF file (e.g.: ADALARM.KWF) to the list of indexes.
               Save the new index file and then exit the HelpInst program.

       Installation of the DCU, DCR, HIS ,TXT and any RES files.   
               We next must add the component to the Delphi VCL Library.
               Copy all the DCU, DCR, HIS, TXT and any RES files to the
                directory that you made for the components. 
                (e.g.:  C:\DELPHI\COMPONEN)
               Load Delphi and select the menu item; Options, Install 
	    Components.
               Add the directory where you have installed the components to
                the search path directory. All components that get installed
                must be in this search path. 
               Click the add button and then the browse button to navigate to
                the directory where you copied the .DCU file 
                (e.g.: C:\DELPHI\COMPONEN) 
               Select the List Files Of Type and select Unit File (*.DCU), 
	    you should then see the DCU file (ADALARM.DCU) that you copied
	    to the directory. Select the file and you will be returned to the
                Install Components dialog box.
               Click on the OK button and the VCL library will be re-built. 
               You will notice on your VCL Palette bar in DELPHI that there
                is now a new tab called ADROCK, in side here will be an icon
	    to represent the component you just installed.  NB: this won't
	    happen if you've installed a Property Editor or Expert type of
	    control - these controls are apparent by either the function they 
	    perform (Property Editor), or by their appearence on say as a
	    menu option (Expert).

       Other Files.    
               The ADALARM.HIS file contains a history of updates and changes
                made.
               The ADALARM.TXT file contains a brief description and ordering
                details. (This File)
               There is a Sample Program in the file DEMOALRM.ZIP which is in
                the distribution ZIP archive.

	Source Code
	=========
Adrock Software's parent company, BYTE Computer & Software Ltd, restricts us
from distribution of much of our source code - including most Delphi shareware
controls.

Source code will be available for some VCL-Components, Property-Editors, and
Experts in the near future.

However, if you have any technical questions, I am at liberty to distribute code
snippets to help us mutually solve any problems.
