TMSAgent VCL for C++ Builder
----------------------------

The TMSAgent component allows access to the entire Microsoft Agent 2.0 Server control. 

This component is written in C++.  No support is current available for Delphi at this time, sorry.  This is being considered for a future version, however.


Upgrading.
----------

If you have a previous version already installed, you should remove it first.
To do this, select "Component | Install Packages", highlight the old version, and click the
Remove button.


To install.
-----------
1.  Extract the zip file to a folder of your choice.
2.  Open C++ Builder (if it's not already running)
3.  Select "File | Open" from the menu, and open the appropriate "MSAgentPkg_<ver>" project file for your version of Builder.
4.  Depending on your version of Builder:

  Builder 3:
    a.  Select "Project | Build" from the menu.
    b.  After a successful build, select "File | Close All" from the menu.
    c.  Select "Component | Install Packages" from the menu.
    d.  Select "Add", browse to the folder, and select the newly-built MSAgentPkg_bcb3.bpl file.
    e.  Press "OK".

  Builder 4-6:
    a.  In the Package Editor, press the "Install" button (you may have to press the "Compile" button first to enable the "Install" button).
    b.  After a successful install, select "File | Close All" from the menu.

  Builder 2007-2010:
    a.  In the Project Manager, activate the desired "Build Configuration", then right-click on the package file and choose the "Install" option.
    b.  After a successful install, select "File | Close All" from the menu.

The component will now be available under the "Lebeau" tab in the Component Palette.


To Use.
-------

When you use TMSAgent in your projects, make sure that the folder path where you placed
TMSAgent's source files is included in the "Include" and "Library" directory paths in your project's
options.

1.  Select "Project | Options" from the menu
2.  Go to the "Directories/Conditionals" tab
3.  Add the path to both the "Include Path" and "Library Path" fields
4.  Press "OK"

Refer to the TMSAgent.hlp file for syntax and usage of TMSAgent.
