FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TMultiSaveIt v1.00 - Initial Release

January 15th, 1999 -- Y-Tech Corporation is pleased to announce the initial release of the TMultiSaveIt Component for Borland Delphi. TMultiSaveIt is actually a suite of 3 easy-to-use components that combine extreme flexibility with sheer power. Essentially, TMultiSaveIt handles all File UI (User Interface) Logic for your SDI Application. It can handle virtually any situation so all you actually have to do is to write the actual File I/O code!

The following is a list of some of TMultiSaveIt's major features:

• Designed for Delphi 2, 3 & 4.
• Creating an SDI Application with Multiple File Types is just as easy as creating an SDI Application with a Single File Type using TMultiSaveIt.
• Handles all File Open, Save, Close, etc... Logic & Dialogs for you; you only need to write the actual File I/O Code
• Can easily list File Groups in Dialogs(i.e. Picture Files = *.bmp, *.gif, *.jpg)
• Handles Enabling/Disabling of Buttons & Menu Items for you using Events
• Shows User a New File Dialog (like Microsoft Word's File|New menu item) which lets the user select file types by choosing the appropriate icon.
• Can create New File of the default type instantly (like MS Word's New Document Button). No need to always use the New File Dialog.
• Automatically Reminds User to Save if closing a file that has been modified.
• Works with MRU File Lists (just hook it up to one of those freeware MRU File List components)
• User Can Open Multiple Files at Once with the Open Dialog or by Dropping. (Dropping is only implemented in Delphi 3 & Up Only)
• Accepts Dropped Files from Windows Explorer/Desktop
• Correctly recognizes Read-Only files and does not allow the user to Save to the original file, instead it shows a Save As.. dialog when user tries to save with a slightly modified file name (i.e. "Copy of ...")
• Can display progress!
• And of course... Easy to Use as well.
• In Short... the easiest, quickest, most reliable way to a professional SDI Application.

With the TMultiSaveIt suite of components, you can do in less than an hour what would otherwise take you from a few days to a month (depending on the complexity of your application). This component is definitely a must-have for any Borland Delphi SDI Application Author. TMultiSaveIt also has a sister component, TMDISaveIt that can handle all your MDI saving needs.

If you work with TListViews you might want to consider the TSaveListView component which lets you easily save and load the contents of any TListView and the TExportListView component which can print or export the contents of any TListView to 7 different formats!

Another component worth checking out is the TSaveCheckState component which can remember the Check State of any menu item in a TMainMenu or TPopupMenu, thereby instantly remembering your user's preferences.
